Infancy Studies Lab at Rutgers Newark

The most important voice a baby ever hears. 🗣️❤️

Research shows that a mother’s voice is one of the most powerful tools for a baby’s language acquisition and emotional processing. Today, we honor the women providing the “data” that matters most: love, language, and late-night comfort.

Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at the lab!
