 When Chimpsky Speaks - People Listen Nim Chimpsky is 2 years old and is learning sign language. Nim lives on a 13-acre estate in Riverdale. Every weekday he is driven into Manhattan... > Article  Nim Chimpsky: A Life That Was Rich Beyond Words, by Laura Ann Petitto, The Washington Post, March 18, 2000. Laura Ann Petitto celebrates Nim's life and his enduring impact on her and her family in the official Obituary that she wrote by special invitation from The Washington Post. > Article  The brain: How children learn language." The Toronto Star newspaper takes a look into Laura Ann Petitto's state-of-the-art brain imaging lab and her team's exploration of the child's developing brain. >Article  “Stone Deaf” Laura Ann Petitto & Nim Chimpsky The film of a play, Stone Deaf (2006), written and directed by Deaf and hearing students in the Deaf Studies department at California State University, Northridge (CSUN), and produced by CSUN Professor Genie Gertz. > Video Learning language is child's play As the high-tech, red-and-blue sensors strapped to the side of her head send waves of light across her brain, lab manager Karen Lau looks straight ahead and reads off the monitor: "Fod- Lush- Feap." > Article  Maximum Science For any parent it's an unforgettable moment the day an infant child says its first word. But how does a human baby actually acquire language.... > Video  Left Hemisphere Cerebral Specialization For Babies While Babbling Whether baby babbling is fundamentally linguistic (absorbing the elements of language) or just exercising motor activity (practicing the mechanics of mouth movement) has never been effectively addressed. Until now... > Web supplement  Language Rhythms in Babies' Hand Movements Babbling sounds like "ba, ba, ba" universally uttered by healthy babies at around 7 months have attracted intense scientific fascination, as baby babbling has been understood to mark the developmental moment when a young child embarks on the road to producing language… > Web supplement  PNAS Speech-like cerebral activity in profoundly deaf people while they are processing signed languages: Implications for the neural basis of all human language For more than a century we have understood that our brain's left hemisphere is the primary site for processing language, yet why this is so has remained more elusive... > Web supplement  Babies' 'ga-ga' a sign of learning language, not exercise A baby's babbling isn't just a random exercise in mouth control. It's a step that prepares the young for speech and language... > Article
