Interesting questions from week 1

- Is there a connection between athletic ability and language proficiency?
- What is cell phone/tablet use in early childhood doing to the rate of literacy acquisition?
- What is happening in the brain to make it easy for babies to learn language than older children? How does this process look in the brain in sign-language-only households? What about bilingual households?
