Between sweet tunes like Qfolk and Diet Cig, I discuss early childhood development, specifically of language, with Jessie Schwab, doctoral candidate of developmental psychology at Princeton University. We get in to how this is measured (the efforts of the new Princeton Baby Lab), and even get in to the debate in psychology and linguistics of whether language is a learned or innate ability.
