Yes, it works for children, but according to the main theories this
capability is lost around age 11. I have my doubts if Lojban is even
suited for such intuitive and implicit learning, regardless of age. It'd
be a nice yet oh so inhumane experiment to have a child grow up hearing
and seeing primarily Lojban text.
