The main topic of the show was 'Brainy Babies', and the question being asked was "what makes for a child prodigy?". Presenter, Dr Hannah Critchlow, discussed language acquisition in babies with Professor Goswami, who stressed the importance to language development of infant-directed speech. The Brainy Babies programme, including Professor Goswami's interview, is now available on the website of the Naked Scientists.
