We know one of the ways babies and young children (and all of us) learn about the world is by grouping people, things and places. Even young babies begin to organise what they know into categories. They might have a category of toys that make a noise, or one for dogs – the categories your baby develops will depend on the things they see regularly. In this week’s deep dive into a research article, we explore a paper from Lancaster University which investigated if words or other sounds help babies with categorisation.  

Research into child development often involves answering questions that arise from previous research, or repeating research to see if the results are the same.
