Dr. Kuhl and her colleagues wanted to determine if exposure to a second language could lead to better sound discrimination in the population of Delawarean infants who only listen to English. Let's say these researchers obtained a sample of 6-month-old infants from local university daycare centers and then randomly assigned them to be exposed to Chinese either through: (1) in-person sessions, (2) video-only sessions, or (3) audio-only sessions. The infants' ability to discriminate Chinese sounds was measured at the end of the study when they turned 12 months old.
