The Birth of a Word

Find out how one man fused his roles of researcher and parent to find out more about how children learn words.

TED 2011: "MIT researcher Deb Roy wanted to understand how his infant son learned language — so he wired up his house with videocameras to catch every moment (with exceptions) of his son's life, then parsed 90,000 hours of home video to watch "gaaaa" slowly turn into "water." Astonishing, data-rich research with deep implications 
for how we learn."
