Re: How does a baby learn language, when learning requires concentration

Concentration is required to memorize-focus. Then how does the baby
learn words and basic grammer by age three when they are too young to
focus narrowly?

For a baby, learning his first language requires experience, which is
all around him. It does not require concentration. As pointed out in
previous answers, a baby is a language-learning aparatus; he does it
automatically, by instinct, like sucking on a nipple.
