Kids absorb 1.5 Mb data to master their native language: Study
Humans absorb about 1.5 megabytes of data from their birth to adulthood to learn their native language, scientists say. Learning one's native language may seem effortless. However, the research from the University of California (UC) Berkeley in the US shows that language acquisition between birth and 18 is a remarkable feat of cognition, rather than something humans are just hardwired to do.

If converted into binary code, the data would fill a 1.5 Mb floppy disk, the study found. The findings, published in the Royal Society Open Science journal, challenge assumptions that human language acquisition happens effortlessly, and that robots would have an easy time mastering it. "Ours is the first study to put a number on the amount you have to learn to acquire language," said Steven
