Bilingual babies in utero show greater pitch sensitivity and less language specificity, according to Frontiers in Human Neuroscience study.
Babies exposed to two languages in the womb may be more capable of hearing a wider range of speech after birth, according to a study in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience. Bilingual babies were found to be more sensitive to various pitches and less tuned into a specific one compared to babies whose mothers spoke only one language. This suggests that bilingual babies learn about languages differently even before they are born.
