生物过程和行为特征之间的关系表明了自然选择可以起作用的近似机制。在这种情况下，检查婴儿健康的一个方面是调查婴儿导向语音（ID语音）的适应意义的一种方法，它可以帮助解释这种沟通方式的广泛使用。婴儿的生长和婴儿导向的语言之间的相关性是积极的和显着的，并提供了一个工具来测试进化史假说。
The relationship between a biological process and a behavioral trait indicates a proximate mechanism by which natural selection can act. In that context, examining an aspect of infant health is one method of investigating the adaptive significance of infant-directed speech (ID speech), and it could help to explain the widespread use of this communication style. The correlation between infant growth and infant-directed speech is positive and significant, and provides a vehicle for testing evolutionary history hypotheses.
