Universal grammar theory

A

the mind has a bunch a switches that get set when you learn language as a child, subject omission states when a child is learning a native language these switches are set.

A

During this stage children are learning 2 to 4 new words per day to their productive vocabulary. Their learning words that they don’t even hear, because they can link connections to other words.

5
Q

Jean Paget’s developmental stages

A

performed experiments on his own children

Sensorimotor (birth - 2)

Preoperational (2-6)

Concrete Operational (7-11)

Formal Operational (11–death)

6
Q

Egocentrism:

A

difficult in seeing world from

another’s viewpoint

7
Q

Centration:

20
Q

A

Explains why children can learn language easily versus not learning calculus.

21

Inheritance
Illness
healing
