They learn to mimic the sounds of their language, to associate thousands of words with their meanings, to combine these words into long, grammatical sentences, and to use these sentences to convey complex messages about their world, their thoughts, their feelings and beliefs. The research of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mpi.nl\/department\/language-development\/3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Language Development Department<\/a> (LaDD) is designed to discover how children achieve this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"hoe-leren-kinderen-taal\">How do children acquire language?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>We study what children say, what they understand, and how they learn from the sights, sounds, and smells of the world around them. We build and test models of language acquisition that address the central question: How do the learning mechanisms in children\u2019s brains use information in their environment to learn their language?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"1135\" src=\"http:\/\/babyandchild.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/pexels-william-fortunato-6393165-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1135\" srcset=\"https:\/\/babyandchild.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/pexels-william-fortunato-6393165-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/babyandchild.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/pexels-william-fortunato-6393165-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/babyandchild.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/pexels-william-fortunato-6393165-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/babyandchild.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/pexels-william-fortunato-6393165-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/babyandchild.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/pexels-william-fortunato-6393165-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/babyandchild.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/pexels-william-fortunato-6393165-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"724\" data-id=\"1251\" src=\"http:\/\/babyandchild.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/30-1024x724.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/babyandchild.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/30-1024x724.png 1024w, https:\/\/babyandchild.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/30-300x212.png 300w, https:\/\/babyandchild.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/30-768x543.png 768w, https:\/\/babyandchild.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/30-1536x1086.png 1536w, https:\/\/babyandchild.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/30-16x12.png 16w, https:\/\/babyandchild.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/30.png 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ondersteuning-van-onderzoek\">Research support<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Our research is supported by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Een technisch innovatieteam, dat ons helpt betere &#8217;tools&#8217; (hulpmiddelen) te ontwikkelen voor onderzoek;<\/li><li class=\"translation-block\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.mpi.nl\/tla\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Language Archive team<\/a>, which maintains one of the largest collections of spoken and signed language data in the world;<\/li><li>A large research support team, who help us run studies in our purpose-built labs.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:27px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Our department is also home to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mpi.nl\/department\/learning-through-processing\/7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learning through Processing research group<\/a>, led by the department\u2019s Senior Investigator <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mpi.nl\/user\/1335\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Evan Kidd<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"meer-lezen\">Read more?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00c7etin\u00e7elik, M., Rowland, C.
