Well this is how science works, right? You formulate hypotheses, build expectations and finally test them. For example, the expected influence of more talkative parents would be erased by other factors, like (and this is a mere example) the exposition to sounds in the woumb.

Yes, but this is all well know. That is the confusing part to me. Or at least the basics are known. Perhaps there is some detail I am missing.
