Young toddlers acquire one to three words per month. A vocabulary spurt often occurs over time as the number of words learned accelerates. It is believed that most children add about 10 to 20 new words a week. [13] Between the ages of 18 and 24 months, children learn how to combine two words such as no bye-bye and more please. [5]
Fernald et al. (2013) also found that by 18 months old language processing and vocabulary disparities were already evident, and by 24 months old there was a 6-month gap between the SES groups in processing skills critical to language development. [4] Fernald et al. found fast reaction time as a child can translate into reaction time as an adult.
By 24–30 months awareness of rhyme emerges as well as rising intonation. [78] One study concludes that children between the ages of 24–30 months typically can produce 3–4 word sentence, create a story when prompted by pictures, and at least 50% of their speech is intelligible. [77]
Carbimazole (brand names Neo-Mercazole, Anti-Thyrox, etc.) is used to treat hyperthyroidism. Carbimazole is a pro-drug as after absorption it is converted to the active form, methimazole . Methimazole prevents thyroid peroxidase enzyme from iodinating and coupling the tyrosine residues on thyroglobulin , hence reducing the production of the ...
A randomized control trial testing single dose treatment for Graves' found methimazole achieved euthyroidism (normal thyroid function that occurs within normal serum levels of TSH and T4 [23]) more effectively after 12 weeks than did propylthiouracil (77.1% on methimazole 15 mg vs 19.4% in the propylthiouracil 150 mg groups). [24]
Able to carry on adult-like conversations; asks many questions. Learns 5 to 10 words a day; vocabulary of 10,000–14,000. Uses appropriate verb tenses, word order, and sentence structure. Social and emotional. Uses language rather than tantrums or physical aggression to express displeasure: "That's mine! Give it back, you dummy."
This task shows that children aged 15 to 20 months can assign meaning to a new word after only a single exposure. Fast mapping is a necessary ability for children to acquire the number of words they have to learn during the first few years of life: Children acquire an average of nine words per day between 18 months and 6 years of age.

[24] [25] [26] Recent research has even shown this ability in newborns only a few hours old. [27] However, other studies have shown similar results received by Michotte (1976) in infants as young as 6 months, but not younger. [28] [29] These studies support a more developmental progression of abilities required for the perception of causality.
