For my fifth observation of Jaelee, I was observing to see if she can use three-to-four word sentences to express herself. When I got to Jaelee’s classroom, the children were getting ready for snack time. Jaelee came over and gave me a big hug. When I asked her how she was doing, she did not respond and just looked up at me with a smile. She was practicing writing her E’s and told me “I write them all of these” while pointing to the paper.…
Raising my virtual child was a very interesting experience for me. I had a little girl and I named her Anna. She was early and had a low birthweight but other than that she was completely healthy. The program made the decisions that I had to make very realistic. There were issues and decisions in everything from development to how I disciplined my child.…
E.P is also able to speak in full sentences in both English and Tagalog language. She interacts mostly with her parents at home and seldom plays with kids outside. If children interact with others who have strong language skills, they are more likely to affect the child’s language in a positive way (Papalia, 2012, p. 241). For the gross motor test, E.P. showed a very good result. She is able to walk up in stairs using her one foot on each stair.…
The only thing that affected her fluency was when she would try to recall something, or she would encounter a small stutter/stammer. It appeared as a pause, but that is something you see in a typical person. Lotje auditory comprehension seemed to be alright when spoke to in simple terms, but struggled when the language was more complex. In the film, she was able to understand most information presented to her except when she was talking with her doctor. The reason behind this is that the language the doctor was using was more complex, and it consisted of a lot of information.…
Mother would tell her that in order for her to get a good job she would “..need to speak English well”. Tan uses personal stories of her relationship with her mother, and how her mother’s “limited and broken” English has made an impact on her life. Tan tries to show that even though her mother’s English may be described as broken, it can be understood and does not determine her intelligence. This is evident through her quote, “ I wanted to capture what language ability tests can never reveal: her intent, her passion, her imagery, the rhythms of her speech, and the nature of her thoughts” (par 21-22). Although people frowned upon her mother’s accent, she was fond of her and refused to believe that her mother’s intelligence was…
As a slight cripple, she shies away from the world, hiding among glass unicorns and other figurines, and listening to her phonograph records. The real world unnerves her, deeming her unable to even handle typing class at Rubicam’s Business College. She couldn’t even type from nerves, her hands jittering across the keys. And when she tried to take her speed typing test, she vomited on the floor, and almost had to be carried to the washroom. While she was supposed to be in class, Laura simply wandered through parks and visited animals at the zoo, or the local conservatory, slipping even further from reality.…
This kind of frustration can eat you up. It’s as if the words are there, but you can’t speak or write it out. Since the moment I was able to talk, I always found myself in this predicament. Consequently, my mother had questioned my abilities in English.…

Mia exhibits age appropriate mastery of biosocial development as described in chapter 5 pages 156-159 The Developing Person, Stassen 2015. At the beginning of the observation, Mia starts by displaying a variety of gross and fine motor skills. She demonstrates gross motor skills by walking around the room and pushing a baby walker. Mia stepped over toys, and kneeled on the floor to play.…
The cognitive connectionism theory can be used to describe Amanda’s language development. In this theory “language is learned, not innate. It relies on generic cognitive information-processing and pattern-recognition mechanisms” (Wolf-Nelson, 2010, p.61). In this theory children use cognitive abilities such as attention, perception, working memory and retrieval to receive information form their environment and construct language competence by using information processes and language. In this theory neuronal functions are part of a network, which perform parallel distributed processing (PDP), in which information is perceived and attended to.…
