They found that the heart rate of an unborn baby slowed when it heard it's mother's voice
They videoed infants and noted that most babbling came more from the right side of mouth, which is controlled by the left side of the brain. This side of the brain is responsible for speech production.
They found that babies sucked on their dummies more when their mother read them the same story that they'd also read aloud during the last 6 months of the pregnancy
They found that four-day-old French babies increased their sucking rate on a dummy, showing interest or recognition, when they heard French as opposed to Italian or English

9. What was the reason for the Bristol University's findings?
Cluster reduction- consonant clusters are dropped

Deletion- sometimes a child drops a constant
Cooing stage- babies make a small range of sounds when at six to eight weeks old
