Q

Vocal Learning Phase (1)

A

Prenatal to 5-7 months

Mimicking, turn taking, gestures, recognize social emotion and prefer native language, imitate phonetic patterns.

Prosody, Phonology, pragmatics developing

Depends on OS and ATLD

2
Q

Utterance Acquisition Phase (2)

A

5-7 months to 20-37 months

Holophrases, form relations, 1 word utterances, refine intonation and stress, communication partner characteristics.

Semantics developing

Depends on OS, ATLD, and Phase 1

3
Q

Structure, Analysis, and Computation Phase (3)

A

20-37 months to 3+ years

Minimal pairs, discover regularities, apply grammatical rules, growing vocab, decompose utterances into words, past tense and irregular plurals, internal deducer.

Morphology and syntax develop

Depends on OS, ATLD, and Phases 1&2

4
Q

Integration and Elaboration Phase (4)

A

3+ years to rest of life

Easier to learn new words, less reliant on memory, automatic syntax, increased metalinguistic skills and vocab.

All 6 systems of language developing

Depends on OS, ATLD, and Phases 1-3

5
Q

What phase does semantics start developing?

A

2: utterance acquisition

6
Q

Define Speech Disorder

A

An impairment of the articulation of speech sounds, fluency, and or voice.

7
Q

Define language disorder

A

Impaired comprehension &/or use of spoken, written &/or other symbol systems.

May involve form, content, &/or function of language in communication.

8
Q

Name and define the systems of language

A
Phonology-speech sound
Morphology-word structure
Semantics-vocabulary 
Syntax-grammar and sentence structure 
Pragmatics-social language
Prosody-intonation
9
Q

Name the 5 language development theories

A
  1. Nativist theory
  2. Cognitive theory
  3. Behavioral theory
  4. Information/Processing theory
  5. Social interactionism theory
10
Q

Nativist Theory

-who, and what does it say?

A

Noam Chomsky

Born with innate ability to learn language (language acquisition device - LAD)

11
Q

Cognitive Theory

- who, and what does it say?

A

Piaget

Language is not innate, it emerges from cognitive growth (attention, memory, auditory, and visual perception).

4 stages: sensorimotor, pre operational, concrete operations, and formal operations)

12
Q

Behavioral Theory

- who, what does it say?

A

BF Skinner

Learning fosters acquisition of verbal behaviors (not mental, cognitive, or innate) verbal community builds verbal behavior. Stimulus and response.

13
Q

Information Processing Theory

- what does it say?

A

Cognitive functioning (the how)

Processing system encodes stimuli and allows previously stored info to be retrieved.

Organization, memory, transfer, and attention.

Auditory processing.

14
Q

Social Interactionism Theory

- who, and what does it say?

A

Vygotsky

Language development is driven by social situations.

Not innate.

Language function is the focus.

Zone of Proximal Development

15
Q

Systems of Speech

A

Articulation
Fluency
Voice

16
Q

3 areas of breakdown in language

A

Form: morphology and syntax

Content: semantics

Use: pragmatics

17
Q

“Magic of Child Language”

A

Even if a child is raised in a barrel they’ll still have some form of language. It may be delayed and simple but it’s still language.

18
Q

Threats to Language Acquisition

A

Neurobiology- brain structure and function abnormalities

Etiology - premature birth, neuro disease, defective genes, abnormal communicative environments, early hearing problems.

Physiolinguistic processes - fundamental problem in perception, memory, and abstracting grammatical rules.

19
Q

L and R hemisphere with language

A

Left brain is primarily for language. It switches from R brain around phase 2/3.

In LDK, R brain is bigger because it becomes a “crutch”

20
Q

4 steps of the information processing model

A
  1. Attention
  2. Discrimination
  3. Organization
  4. Memory/Retrieval
21
Q

What are Locke’s 4 Phases of Language Development?

A
  1. Vocal Learning
  2. Utterance Acquisition
  3. Structure, Analysis, and Computation
  4. Integration and Elaboration
