How are cognition and language related?
|
|
|
Piaget
|
INPUT and ENVIRONMENT. Language reflects thought. Cognition drives language (Interaction with environment) Environmental input and cognitive dev. Cognitive determinsim.
|
|
Vygotsky
|
Language Drives thought development. I can only think with language. Verbal thought. Overlap of development curves at abe 2
|
|
Whorf
|
No cognition until language. I can't think without language. (assumes can't speak therefore can't think.) Linguistic determinism.
|
|
chomsky
|
" Language and thought are related but separate, though developing at similar times. Limited influence."
|
|
PIAGETIAN CONCEPTS
|
|
|
Piagetian Concepts

|
Eqilibration
|
Equilibration: Cognitive Balance. a developing person is always striving for this..momentary state of cognitive balance. But you can't stay here
|
|
Assimilation
|
Assimilation: CRAM IT INTO WHAT WE KNOW. Use of existing schemes to manage new information. Alters it to fit into what one already knows
|
|
Accomodation
|
Accommodation: MAKING NEW LIVING ARRANGEMENTS for new thoughts. Managing new information by constructing new schemes . Could be good or bad. (squished ball of clay = more clay because it takes up more space.)
|
|

Period of transition between two stages. shows characteristics of both stages. Can be confusing to parents. It is a sign of shifting from one stage to the next. One moment can appear to be brilliant and the next he is behind a stage.
|
|
Semiotic Function
|
"The ability to represent an object, event, concept mentally"
|
|
"Ability to represent objects, events and concepts mentally comes through and understanding of "
|
Symbols (gestures) and then later Signs
|
|
Symbols
|
"Ididosyncratic (individual) like a MUM or wedding ring--- it stands for an object or event, but does not represent it like a sign does. Also includes gestures. ""A drink of water"""
|
|
Signs
|
"""socially shared"" deeper meaning. Sign language. True words, not babble. Clear representation. Understood. Deeper meaning. (MRS. Represents being married)"
|
|
Semiotic function of language
|
Representative or Develomental?
|
|
Representative nature of language
|
"Vgotsky: ""She's Such an Erin"" Words become part of what they represent"
|
|
Development of representation
|
"Piaget: words represent and are not a part of the representation… ""Cat"" is a representation of furry creature, but not my cat. (Vytogsky: words become a part of their representation ""such an ERIN"""
|
|
Developmental stages of cognition
|
Are a different way of thinking at each stage-- qualitiative changes in the childs way of thinking. More advanced and moving forward.
|
|
Child's interaction with his world spurs
|
spurs change and influences development
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
Characteristics of the Stages
|
Ages aren't the same. Periods within the stages. Invarient in their sequence. Stages are universal.
|
|
Invariant sequence of stages

"Simple Monologue: self talk that happens with others . Talking in response to what someone else said, but not really to or with them."
|
|
Collective Monologue

|
|
What if?
|
The stuff of daydreaming
|
|
Environmental Influences on Language Development
|
|
|
Caregiver foundations for face to face communcation
|
"reduce physical distress (hunger…) Soothe, move to visual field, modulate speech (rhythm, body, with focus), use CDS (slow, exaggerated), Imitate baby movements (close, oriented and parallel)"
|
|
Caregiver's tools for encouraging infant participation
|
"Phasing, adaptive, facilitative, elaborative, initiating, control, phasing"
|
|
Phasing
|
"Pays attention to what child is paying attention to. ""Phasing into their world"" Adult will look at child, follow their gaze and name what they are looking at or bring it closer into range ""You see an orange"" ""here it's a rattle"""
|
|
Adaptive
|
"Simple, Faces and SVO --Adapting communication style to appropriate level of child. simplifying actions (no hand gestures) Utterance S-V-O Simple! Faces important, overemphasizing faces to focus in on the communication. Good Baby! "
|
|
Facilitative
|
"Giving child the appropriate tools not chop sticks for sushi, but cheerios and fingers. Not heavy pots or sharp objects, but plastic and playware."
|
|
Elaborative
|
"Elaborate phasing and Parallel Talking: Similar to phasing but more elaborative in style. Goal to engage child in extended conversation/communication. Extending the communicative opportunity. Also Parallel Talking: Mommys making soup, can you smelll the soup, here are the crackers we are going to put in the soup. whatever I'm doing I talk about."
|
|
Initiating
|
"directs childs attentions to something. Squirrles are cute and furry, can you see him?"
|
|
Control
|
Tell the child what your'e going to do. Warning. Use of supersegmental
|
|
(CDS)
|
child directed speech makes it more likely for the child to develp speech in your presence. (automatically happens with most parents -- sme may need some education simplifying their word choices or not demandinig specific words)
|
|
Modeled communication
|
"This is how I want you to talk. More perceptually salient (meaningful) helps child pay attention to what is imprtant. Using pauses…taking more time. Simplifying "" get your shoes…"" ( for example:)"
|
|
CDS will be
|
"greater pitch range, lexical simplifictation, shorter simpler utterances, paraphrasing (Shoes? Got your shoes? Repetition), more contextual support (picture of grandma)."
|
|
How does CDS Adapt as child grows
|
begins 6-8 months and tapers 24-27 months
|
|
Other tools phase in after CDS
|
"Elicited imitations (say ""Hi Grandma!"") Fill ins (Want a cookie____?"", Turn abouts (keeping flow going), Contingent queries, vertical strategies."
|
|
Elicited imitations
|
"Say, ""Hi granma"""
|
|
Ø Fill-ins
|
"""I want a cookie…."""
|
|
Turnabouts
|
Comm. Flow Go. Things that follow a toddlers utterance that keep flow of communication going.Adult takes responsibility.
|
|
Contingent queries
|
"Request information, Confirmation or Clarification: ""Where does it hurt? It hurts here? Huh?"
|
|
What are Vertical Strategies
|
"Building up a childs utterance (another kind of tunrnabout) recast, expnasion, extension"
|
|
Recasts
|
slight modification of child's utterance.. Want more out of conversation.
|
|
Expansions
|
"Word order is preserved, but production is improved: kitty go by…""Yes, the kitty is going by bye"""
|
|
Extensions
|
"Semantically related comment, reply to child's initial topic. Like an expansion that increases likely hood of having a conversation"
|
|
Imitations % of conversation
|
20% Imitating child's utterance -- building up helps a child to develop more
|
|
Toddler's tools
|
"Some parents are good, some are not. Some need help coming down to the level of the child. Some parents may need to be more conscious about use of language."
|
|
Ø Evocative utterances
|
Makes utterance with certainty
|
|
Ø Hypothesis testing
|
Single word with rising intonation
|
|
Ø Interrogative utterances
|
Direct request for something
|
|
Ø Selective imitation
|
Portions of caregivers respnse are repeated within next few utterances
|
|
Socialization and Early Communication
|
|
|
What do we see in early communication/socialization
|
"Faces, smile, vocalizations"
|
|
6 weeks
|
Glancing away: manipulating gaze patterns to make sure they are getting the most out of it (glancing away)
|
|
6w-2 months
|
"Smile, baby giving back socially (mom's need this)"
|
|
6months
|
control and intent
|
|
8-10 months
|
"responding to non verbals ""bye"""
|
|
9 months
|
"following maternal pointing and glancing. Developing turn taking and ""joining the chorus"" in laughter. Developing intentionality. Reciprocity is important."
|
|
1year
|
coordinate gaze and vocal
|
|
1.5 months
|
"more adult pattern, looking at partner to signal end of turn."
|
|
Differentiated interactions
|
React differentially from one caregiver to another
|
|
Mutually differentiating
|
Parents and child adjust
|
|
Turn taking
|
learning this is important for conversation skills. Begins with care taker imitating babbling and pausing for child to imitate (which may take up to 4 months)
|
|
Development of Joint reference
|
"Master (up to 6 mo), Intent 7, gesture 8, Name 12: Infant: attends, follows, and responds then moves to joint reference without looking at adult (7m)…intention to communicate (7), gestures (8-12), then names (12m) within dialogue."
|
|
Gaze patterns
|
" Beginnings of what we talk about. By 6 weeks can visually fix on moms eyes and hold. (3 months full focal range) Recognition of patterns of convesation and to what we attend to with interest. mutual, rituals, games. Mutual Gaze, Gaze coupling and Joint attention"
|
|
Mutual gaze
|
"up to 30 sec, mode to engage each other. May develop into gaze coupling (turn taking) at about 3 months."
|
|
Joint attention
|
gaze directed at objects. Mother's monitor and follow to orinetation.
|
|
protoconversations
|
initial elements of conversation that may develop out of games and rituals.
|
|
Game playing and rituals
|
Shared Meaningful communication at non-verbal level. Important to raising a child in our culture. (6 weeks can initiate games at 13 w signals readiness to play and 23 weeks independent exploration)
|
|
Early game playing
|
"imitation, mutual gazing, episodes of engagment, repetitions (""So BiG!"", (no object play until 6 months, then give and take) "
|
|
Game of Retrieve
|
predictable sequence under control
|
|
Play demonstrates
|
characteristics of later conversation
|
|
Rituals
|
"scaffolds, slots for infant behavior and meaningful interpretation of an event. Predictable contextes and order with cues. ""Take a nose"" I'm gonna get you"""
|
|
Rituals importance
|
"content comes from this daily interaction: when children talk they display greater semantic complexity and range, longer utterances, and more unique words in familiar situations."
|
|
Games
|
"Throwing into air… say to a child ""this person is here for me and is fun!"""
|
|
Joint action
|
"first year of life, shared behaviors in famiy, routinized activity (like game playing and daily rituals) Child encounters rules, learns turn taking, and conversational skills."
|
|
turn Taking
|
"essential for later development. Even body games: tickeling, lifting, bouncing contain pauses for infant response. (gaze, facial or body movement, or vocalization can fill a turn)"
|
|
What does early learning of joint action and game playing teach?
|
turntaking and predictability of actions
|
|
Lack of maternal pauses can result in
|
overstimulation or less responsive infant
|
|
Converstation that evolves from turn taking
|
development of reciprocal and alternating patterns of vocalizations called Protoconversations. Later: gestures and words will fin in as tru conversation develops.
|
|
why of language
|
Don't know why-- cant understand the need for linguistic competence. But social and communicative bonds and enjoyment of reinforcement makes them desireious of more and continues to try to learn the code that the adult speaks with.
|
|
How do children become communicators
|
because we treat them that way. Expect better …Expect them to communicate…prewired for communication: progression from gestures (first signs of communication) to words that fill the inention of the gestures.
|
|
Frustration of mistinterpretation and joy of understanding
|
strong motivators for both child and adult to modify.
|
|
|
