birthplace of psychology, the study of psychology began evolving in the
1800s into modern-day psychology (Cherry, 2019; Dewey, n.d.).

Deaf babies, babbling, and language comprehension
Lisa Packer wrote about a study, conducted by the University of Missouri, tha
explores how the babbling of babies is impacted if they are deaf. She explain
that according to the study, babies “talk” because they can hear themselves
and that when babies cannot hear what they sound like, they make complete
different sounds than babies with no hearing loss (Packer, 2016.). Not only do
deaf babies make different sounds in comparison to hearing babies, but deaf
babies—with the exclusion of deaf babies who have medical intervention—als
do not have as developed language skills as hearing babies do (Packer, 2016
