Reverse Speech research has
discovered that children speak backwards before they do forwards.
From as early as 4 months of age they are pronouncing simple
words in reverse and by the time they reach 13-14 months of age,
complex sentences are forming in reverse.

for an article about reverse speech and children.
This example is at almost four months of age.
Right at the very end of the reversed track the
child says, "Hullo"

In
this example my 13 month old daughter was in the bath trying
to pick up a cup. She was unable to do so and
reached out to me for assistance. The reversals
says: "David. Help me." When you
listen to the forward note that she says "Daddy"
- forwards. The reversed word, David, occurred on
the forward word Daddy. This shows the beginning
of speech complementarity and the young child
beginning to connect concepts David is Daddy. Download

Here is an
amazing reversal found by reverse speech
hobbyist, Matt Goward on his young child. The
whole track is played forwards first, then the
exact forward is isolated and reversed at three
speeds. It says, "I love you Momma"
- followed by dad - "Your Mommy".
Then the exact forwards is played forwards and
backwards. Then, and note this, the the child's
exact words is played forwards and backwards
twice. A true mirror image reversal - "I
love you momma", both forwards and
backwards. Download

In
this example, my former step-daughter had run
away from home. I had been watching her the whole
time. She replies forwards, "I never knew
that." - But she had known as the reversals
says, "Daddy never knew." Not
how it is almost exactly the same backwards as
well as forwards. This is called a Mirror
Image reversal. Download
