[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, but it didn't MEAN anything. Still doesn't. [/quote] This. Many times, when you hear about very young kids learning letters, or knowing the state capitals (like the kids Ellen brings on her show a lot), it's much more about word association than them understanding the underlying meaning. For example, my young toddler (under 2) can tell you the cow says moo, but I don't know that she understands that that means "moo" is the sound the cow makes. She's understood there's a connection between "cow" and "moo." I think there's probably some cognitive benefit to learning word associations, but I'm not deluding myself into thinking it's deeper than that right now. [/quote]
