Thus in the very first attempt to repeat something heard there exists an unquestionable advance in brain development; and the first successful attempt of this kind proves not merely the augmented functional ability of the articulatory apparatus and of the sound-center, and the practicability of the impressive paths that lead from the ear to the sound-center -- it proves, above all, the establishment of intercentral routes that lead from the sound-center and the syllable-center to the motorium.
