The sounds babies make in their first year of life may be less random than previously believed, according to new research.

Researchers from The University of Texas at Dallas studied a dataset of all-day home recordings from more than 300 children.

The researchers documented how children "play" vocally, learning what actions produce certain sounds and repeating that process.

The research was funded by grants from the NIDCD ( R01DC015108 ) and the National Institute of Mental Health (P50MH100029 ) Other researchers who contributed to both articles include Dr. Hyunjoo Yoo of Alabama ; Dr. Edina Bene from The University of Memphis ;.

Helen Long of Case Western Reserve University; and Dr. Gordon Ramsay from the Emory University School of Medicine .
