Child Language Aqusition

Front 1

There is evidence that language development may begin in the womb, why?

Back 1

DeCasper and Spence 1996 found that babies sucked dummies more when reading them the same story in last 6 months of pregnancy
Mehler et all (1988) 4 day old
French babies increased sucking rate showing interest, awareness of French.
Fitzpatrick (2002) heart rate of an unborn baby slowed when hearing mother
Suggests babies are familiar with sounds, rhythms and intimations of language

Hint 1

DeCasper (1986)
Mehler et all (1988)
Fitzpatrick (2002)
Sounds rythms, intonations

Front 2

There is evidence that babies start to use their vocal chords straight away, in what ways do they do this?

Back 2

The period between birth and the first word is called PRE-LANGUAGE
crying is the first main expression, may indicate hunger, discomfort or pain
Not a conscious act, instinctive response to how it feels

Hint 2

Pre-language
Crying
Conscious/instinctive act

Front 3

When do babies start to form sounds? Do they carry meanings?

Back 3

The cooing stage happens 6-8 weeks, babies make small range of sounds with lips and tongue
Starts with vowels 'u' & 'a' They then like to produce extended vowel combinations like ooooh AHHH . Start to use velar consonants (back tongue) ga, coo.
Experiment with sounds, no meaning
Gradually sounds become defined and put together, vocal play is the start of babbling

Hint 3

Cooing stage 6-8 weeks
Vowel sounds 'a' 'u'
Velar constants 'goo'
Experiment, no meanings
Defined and come together- vocal play of babbling
