amount of knowledge on the topic of Public Speaking.

During the speech my heart was pounding and racing out of control and the palm of my hands sweated nonstop. My speech during that night was disjointed, lacked consistent flow and a sense of confidence. I communicated to the instructor of how extremely nervous I was. I had a sense of fear that suddenly came over me before and during my speech. The instructor than advised me to change the context of my relationship to nervousness…

In lecture, Dr. Schreier (October 20, 2016, Language and Cognition) presented the case study of Genie. The case study stated that there appears to be some sensitive or critical period for language development. According to the film, Genie supports this hypothesis by showing her language skills throughout the film (Garmon, 1994). Many researchers tried to teach Genie language but could not get her to use correct grammar. While Susan Curtiss, a researcher, was working with Genie she stated,” ‘What…
