The research done by Brice et.al, investigated phonological developmental processes in bilingual children, and bilingual adults. There have been many studies to support the importance of language development in the area of speech perception on both monolinguals and bilinguals and their differences in development. Although studies do exist they are not adequately representative of speech perception with bilinguals. This study will aid in the understanding of how bilinguals use two languages to…

The above statement, ‘child language errors are victories of nature over nurture’ suggests that errors in children’s language support the view that children acquire language through a more natural process rather than through the process of nurture. This essay will examine whether a child acquires language through a more natural or nurtured environment.

Winniscot’s book, Playing and Reality, focuses on the nature of learning through playing and how mentally vulnerable people are when they’re young. In his case studies, he mentioned about a boy who would act in weird manners with strings when his mother wasn’t home. The problem became worse and worse, and they visited him for help. Winnicot suggested that a line of communication would be required between the mother and the child as he could see that the child was too reliant on the mother. After…

Vesa came to the table with boxes and glass pebbles on it. She separated a handful of the pebbles, correctly counted twelve of them and placed them in a basket. An adult asked her to choose four boxes and how she divide the pebbles equally. Vesa chose boxes and placed one pebble at the time in each box until she run out of the pebbles, and then counted how many she had in each box: “There is three in each box.” The adult give her more pebbles and asked her to equally divide them between five…

I believe that language development happens quickly in children because it is the focus of the adults around them.…

Recent empirical studies by developmental psychologists point to the fact that language is exclusively human, biologically based in terms of capacity and the environment of a child influences the innate potential to learn. A number of empirical studies have found…

Bias #1, Page 171: “However, a CI can enable strong spoken language only when used with intensive auditory- oral exposure in extended, salient, and child-initiated interactions.6 Without a full linguistic and auditory experience, the effects of deafness- associated deprivation can derail the spoken language learning process before it begins.” (Mellon, N. K.) Author Nancy Mellon is currently the executive director at a non-profit agency providing several services for children who are deaf and…
