What is psycholinguistics?
|
understanding of languages, their development and acquisition
|
|
|
what is the main contribution of Chomksy's work?
|
children's language development is much more complex than simple behaviorist paradigms-learning language because it is rewarded by imitating it
|
|
|
Chomsky believed that language in humans is
|
native..meaning theres an innate capability to learn it so nature more important than nurture
|
|
|
what is the special mechanism according to chomsky that allowed us to have an innate ability to talk?
|
Language acquisition device (LAD) left temporal lobe
|
|
|
according to Chomsky what was necessary to activate LAD?
|
Experience using language (actions). There is a sensitive/critical period for development
|
|
|
Neurologically what is LAD?
|
Brocas and wernickes area.
|
|
|
women have an apparent better innate ability to learn language at a younger aye than men..why?
|
corpus callosum is thicker so innervation between two hemispheres is greater than in men..but eventually men catch up

|
According to Piaget language is not a distinct part of cognition, rather is part of
|
child's general cognitive development
|
|
|
regarding language, piaget focuses more on
|
social factors and interaction in language development
|
|
|
Social interaction helps developing intellectual potentials through
|
symbolism, and pretend play, which arise from perception and action
|
|
|
according to piaget the children begin to manipulate symbols at what age
|
end of sensoritmotor period. This milestone is essentially the result of children's development of object permanence
|
|
|
Language acquisition sequence
|
1) creating sounds which leads to understanding of sound
2) learning grammar 3)learning what to say and what not say under different situations |
|
|
Language development as a whole is a matter of
|
internalizing the language and actions of others
|
|

|

Semantics? Pragmatics? |
Sound system of language
Meaning of words How to modify and use language in different contexts |
|
|
What are the stages of language
|
Preverbal (birth-12months)
1) Single word statement 2)Multiword statement 3)Early Emerging Grammar 4)Later grammar |
|
|
Preverbal stage involves
|
Nonpurposeful nonverbal communication
Purposeful nonverbal communication |
|
|
Nonpurposeful nonverbak communication( birth to 8 months) milestones
|
Communication is not intentional and children relate to objects and people
1 month; differentiated crying 2 monts; social smiling 5 months; special responsiveness to familiar faces 6 months: babbling, vocalizing with intonation |
|
|
Purposeful nonverbal communication (8-12 months)
|
More control over gestures, attending people, vocalizing, directed gaze
10 months; responds to name and basic instructions 12 months; first words, object permanence, symbolic representation, invents words for objects and people |
|
|
Stage 1 single word statement 12-18 months)
|
number of years=avg number of words in sentence
12 months; 10 words and their name 18 months; core vocabulary of about 50 words |
|
|
When is kid ready to move from stage 1
|
Once invented words are gone and theres been an increase in numbers of words in sentence
|
|
|
The early sign of use of language in an orderly fashioned by
|
end of multiword statement
|
|
|
Early emerging grammar (2-3years)
|
growing syntax skills, sentence organization, length and grammar.
|
|
|
see exemples of
|
declarative, noun prases etc
|
|
|
Later grammar (3-5yrs0
|
increased sentenced length and complexity; as much as 90% of children's language is developed at this stage
has about 1500 words by age 4 |
|
|
Speech at 6-7yrs
|
