Resumo: Compared with adults, children are sharply limited when it comes to many intellectual activities (math, science, art) or cognitive abilities (memory, attention, social inference). Nonetheless, they are strikingly more successful at learning language. The question of why is one of the oldest in cognitive science and among the most hotly debated. I present recent behavioral, neurological, and computational results based on millions of subjects that begin to fill in the missing parts of the puzzle, suggesting a radically different picture of how language learning changes with age.
