A woman and baby sit together reading a colorful book in a cozy room with shelves behind them; text overlay discusses babies' attention and communication cues. Text on image says, “Babies Pay Attention Longest When Words and Gestures Combined.”

Words and gestures help tune infant attention before they can speak. New UC Davis study finds babies focus longer when object labels ("bear") are paired with spatial words ("here"), and even longer when paired with gestures like pointing. ucdav.is/4lYtXgL
