This is so cool. In an experiment teaching toddlers words, scientists discovered we learn with patterns.
In the experiment, toddlers were shown pairs of images and played sounds of the names of the objects in the images. By rotating the different pairings, the toddlers were able to figure out the names of the objects. This worked for adults, too.
Our brains are able to notice which words go with which things, and puzzle out language. Go evolution!
