It's a question? Infants attend differently to yes/no questions and declaratives

Melanie Soderstrom et al. Infant Behav Dev. 2011 Feb.

Both infants habituated to questions and those habituated to declaratives preferred the question forms at test, suggesting that infants process these two sentence types differently.
