In addition to these physical capabilities,
experimental results show that babies' intelligence is
often superior to adults'. Because of the way human
brains develop, six-month-old babies are better at
recognizing certain faces than adults. But there is a 5
catch: it is non-human faces that they really excel at
recognizing. In another study, researchers discovered
that six-month-olds had no problem distinguishing
individual monkeys, although they look almost the
same to adults.

5 Researchers have also found that babies, before
six months of age, have the ability to hear and
distinguish between almost all the sounds of human
languages. That's about 150 sounds in about 6,500
languages! For instance, Japanese babies can hear the 15
difference between "r" and "1" sounds, which adult
Japanese find difficult to distinguish. This ability will
disappear gradually as they learn their native
language, Japanese.
