Theoretical Perspective The Biological Maturation Theory best exemplifies George’s case. The theory’s major proponents Norman Geschwind, Albert M. Galaburda, Sally Shaywitz & Bernard Shaywitz, Virginia Beringer, and Bruce Pennington believe that certain parts of the brain are more important than other parts of the brain for language acquisition. For example, areas such as Broca’s area, Wernicke’s area, the temporo-occiptal lobe, the thalamus, and cerebellum are most important for language and literacy.

The students increased their ability to ask different questions in order to gain more insight on each topic given in class. The increase mentioned previously occurred within weeks, and was assessed among different classroom topics, such as states of matter in science, and topics in social studies and math. Within two weeks the students were able to address more questions, and increase the amount of writing in the L column.
