The first level is sensory memory which only last up to 4 seconds, relies on the human senses and is stored in the sensory register. Two types of these memories are iconic memories which are formed through visual …show more content…
The first is phonemes which is the very basic sounds of a spoken language for example the vowel sounds. Then there is the combination of phonemes to create the second element morphemes. Morphemes form the smallest segments of language that have meanings. These can be single syllable words like, car or prefixes and suffixes. The next element of language is syntax. Syntax are the rules that are followed in grammar applied to phrases and sentences. For example each sentence most have a subject and predicate. Finally there is semantics which decides the definition of words. (pg. …show more content…
In support of nature is a study performed that found a strong likelihood of occurrence of correlational IQ between identical twins in comparison to fraternal twins who are genetically similar. (Deary, 2012; Mandelman & Grigorenko, 2011; Plomin & Haworth, 2009). In contrast, environmental factors playing a major role is supported by a study that shows children from disadvantaged upbringings who were under exposed to information and deductive learning at school score lower than children raised in the same situation who attend higher level of learning schools do.
