These experiences affect the development of the brain. When children receive more attention, they often have higher IQs. Babies receive information when they see, hear and feel things, which makes connections between different parts of the brain. There are a hundred trillion connections in the brain of a three-year-old child. Researcher Judit Gervain tested how good newborns are at distinguishing different sound patterns. Her researchers produced images of the brains of babies as they heard different sound patterns. For example, one order was mu-ba-ba. This is the pattern "A-B-B". Another order was mu-ba-ge. This is the pattern “A-B-C”. The images showed that the part of the brain responsible for speech was more active during the" A-B-B"pattern. This shows that babies can tell the difference between different patterns. They also were sensitive to where it occurred in the order. Gervain is excited by these findings because the order of sounds is the building block of words and grammar."Position is key to language," she says. "If something is at the beginning or at the end, it makes a big difference:' John caught the bear.' is very different from 'The bear caught John.'” Researchers led by scientist Patricia Kuhl have found that language delivered by televisions, audio books, the Internet, or smartphones-no matter how educational-doesnt appear to be enough for childrens brain development. They carried out a study of nine-month-old American babies. They expected the first group whod watched videos in Chinese to show the same kind of learning as the second group who were brought face-to-face with the same sounds. Instead they found a huge difference. The babies in the second group were able to distinguish between similar Chinese sounds as well as native listeners. But the other babies -regardless of whether they had watched the video or listened to the audio-learned nothing.27.What makes connections in a babys brain? A. Having a higher IQ. B.

Perhaps you had a big blow up and realized later you reacted poorly. 31 Whatever the reason, apologizing can help you both heal and move on from the situation. 32 First, you acknowledge that you did something wrong. With an apology, you take responsibility for your actions, which allows your friend to forgive you.

Now, what are elements of a proper apology? 34  ,depending on what the offense was, where it was done, and who you are apologizing to.  In general, a good apology should include the following: a request for their attention, an acknowledgment of what happened, sincerity in admitting you did something wrong and the words.

Never apologize as a way to “shut someone up” when they are saying you hurt their feelings and you dont think you did.  35 ,you should talk things through with your friend until you see why they are hurt or how you came across.
