Luca Goes To College

Well, kinda... last week I got a call from a graduate student in the linguistics department at UCLA, wanting to know if I would be willing to have Luca participate in an infant language comprehension study and, since I love any excuse that gets me a visit to Bruinland, we decided to check it out.


They played voice recordings in all different languages and watched how his reactions differed when he heard English vs. foreign languages. Not sure if he "passed or failed" their experiment, but he sure was a cute subject to watch...they even gave him a little t-shirt and diploma!
