Chapter 1.1: Basics of Public Speaking
A recent study published in Science Daily (2009) reports human infants begin learning language in the womb, and have the ability to memorize sounds, melodies, and voices before even being born. For example, a mother’s voice is preferred for infants after birth, as are songs and sounds they were exposed to in the womb. The fact that our minds develop with a strong dedication to learning language as a primary focus from early on is an excellent predictor of its overall importance in our life. Since communication is a primary development function, learning how to communicate effectively is a skill that needs to be developed properly and learned through practice and critique.
