Learning Theory
|
imitation and reinforcement
|
|
Problems with Learning Theory
|
Parents do not reinforce syntax (rules that sepcify how words are combined to form sentences)
Children create novel sentences |
|
Nativist Perspective
|
Language Acquisition Devise (LAD)-people must have a neurological base to learn langauge
Language is too complex to just simply learn |
|
Problems with Nativisist Theory
|
A description, not an explanation
|
|
Interactionists Perspective
|
all cognition is an active progress
compromise between nature and nurture Biology-slowly maturing brain Environment-socailly learned |
|
Pre-Linguistic Period
|
preverbal reactions before 10-13 months
cooing-2 months babbling-5 to 6 months babbling with tone-7 months words as symbols-1 year first word-1 year |
|

|
Begin combining words

|
Modular Nativism
|
Biological predisposition
Apsects of Theory of Mind can be changed |
|
Expertise Simulation Theory
|
Practice makes perfect
Through interactions with others, children realize perople are different and they can simulate other people's actions |
|
Selman's Stages of Role Taking Theory
|
Egocentrism-inability ot see from other's perspective (3-6 years)

|
Evaluation of Kohlberg
|
Positive:
Longitudinal Studies, evidence supports invariant stages, moral reasoning corrleates with moral behavior, age and stage are correlated Negative: incomplete development (not everyone goes thru the stages), cross cultural, Gilligan (gender bias) |
