Because our synapses get weak as we get used to the things around us and they don't form connections as rapidly as a child to whom everything is new and being processed.David Eagleman claims that 'Synapses weaken if they aren't useful and eventually they are eliminated.']]> 2019-05-02 18:40:38 UTC https://padlet.com/efazhossain_dihan123/SP19Essay4Hossain/wish/356355775 efazhossain_dihan123 https://padlet.com/efazhossain_dihan123/SP19Essay4Hossain/wish/356359216 The part of the brain processing sound and speech are the same and is called the Broca's area. Since the history of creation of music and language are related , our speech center is affected when we listen to or play music."Humans first started creating music 500,000 years ago, yet speech and language was only developed 200,000 years ago. Evolutionary evidence, as interpreted by leading researchers such as Robin Dunbar from Oxford University, indicates that speech as a form of communication has evolved from our original development and use of music."]]> 2019-05-02 18:48:58 UTC https://padlet.com/efazhossain_dihan123/SP19Essay4Hossain/wish/356359216 efazhossain_dihan123 https://padlet.com/efazhossain_dihan123/SP19Essay4Hossain/wish/356359843 Musicians are better at noticing the difference in pitches during language learning and can easily comprehend the intention behind spoken words.“Remarkably, they found that just six months formal musical training had positive effects upon subjects' abilities in speech.
