This time, psychologist Rebekah Richert and her team did those studies one better. She randomly assigned two groups of babies to either a Baby Wordsworth or control group, then carefully tracked how many of the 30 target words highlighted in the video the babies were able to learn. The words were those that children would commonly hear around the house, such as table, ball, piano, fridge and chair. Parents were asked to evaluate how many of these words their babies understood and how many they could speak, while toddlers were tested separately for their recognition of pictures associated with...

Not only is the Tea Party’s homophobic and racist rhetoric offensive (a Tea Party protest in Washington last September included signs saying “The Zoo Has an African Lion and the White House Has a Lyin’ African!”), but their tactics are self-defeating...
