How do children learn? It's a question researchers have been trying to solve for as long as people have existed.
Now there's a project at the University of Washington that lets researchers see what's going on in the minds of babies.
The University of Washington's Institute for Learning & Brain Sciences (I-LABS) opened its new brain imaging center with the world's first brain imaging machine calibrated to study infants and young children.
The magnetoencephalography (MEG) machine is able to map the brain activity of children, even as young as only a few days old as they think, feel, act and listen to languages.
Dr. Pat Kuhl, co-director of I-LABS, talks more about the center and its Mind Developing Project.
Learning for Life airs every Wednesday on KING 5 Morning News on KONG 6/16 TV between 8:15 and 8:30 a.m.
