Q

Describe what fast mapping and slow mapping is.

___ happens when the initial association or link between the word label and meaning is made as stored in memory

A

Fast mapping children’s ability to learn a new word on the basis of just a few exposures to it. Typical children use fast mapping to rapidly expand their vocabularies.

Slow mapping refers to the learning that occurs during the protracted period of word learning after fast mapping has occurred

Q

Difference between direct speech, indirect speech and requests

A

Direct speech: “Bring me the ball.”
Indirect speech: “It would be nice if I had the ball.”
Request: “Will you bring me the ball?”.

Indirect speech acts or requests are used to convey politeness. By the time the child is 6 years old, they can respond to many different forms of indirect requests. They can also use indirect requests themselves.

32
Q

What kind of games teach infants rudimentary turn-taking skills that later serves as the foundation of conversation turn-taking skills?

A

Peek-a-boo, pat-a-cake

33
Q

If a baby cries and the caregiver responds immediately, does it increase the baby’s motivation to communicate?
What does this do?

A

Yes. Motivated babies attempt more varied and frequent interactions. They often develop language at a more rapid pace than babies who are not motivated to communicate.
Even babies who are only 3 months begin to produce more speech-like sounds if an adult responds to their vocalizations.

34
Q

What are the two main factors that are associated with more rapid, rich language development in infants and young children?

A
  1. Amount of talking
  2. Caregiver responsiveness
35
Q

Why do parents have more difficulty relating to children who are blind or have autism?

A

Because eye contact is an important form of communication. Children who are blind/have autism avoid eye contact, which then makes parents have difficulty relating.

36
Q

What’s line of regard? How is it helpful?

A

When the caregiver looks at what the child is looking. It can be helpful for the caregiver to comment about what the infant and the caregiver are observing together.

37
Q

Stages of pragmatic skills:
- Perlocutionary behavior
- Illocutionary behavior
- Locutionary stage
- Joint reference

A

Perlocutionary behavior
- “Signals” have an effect on the listener/observer. but lack communicative intent. Ex. child smiles reflexively, observer may smile back or laugh, even though child didn’t intend to express happiness
Illocutionary behavior
- At 9-10 months, signaling to carry out some socially organized action, such as pointing and laughing; uses intentional communication
Locutionary stage
- Begins to use words (12 months)
Joint reference
- Ability to focus attention on an event or object as directed by another person.

38
Q

Holophrastic single-word phase
Holophrastic speech

A
  1. Holophrastic single-word phase
    - One word represents a complex idea
    - Ex. “up” might mean “please pick me up because I don’t want to sit here playing with the dog anymore”
  2. Holophrastic speech
    - One word is used to communicate a variety of meanings.

5) True narratives (5-7) - all 5 story grammar elements; central theme, character, plot, motivations behind actions, logical and temporal ordered sequences of events.

55
Q

How does normal aging affect cognition?

A

Highly variable changes
Cognitive changes only relate to the nervous system
Anything that does decline is not severe enough to cause significant impairment like a dementing disorder
Individuals keep learning until the end of life
We do slow down psychologically for processing and reacting - reduced inhibition and slow speed due to perceptual deficits and cognitive capacity

56
Q

How does normal aging affect attention?

A

Decline in executive attention/selective attention
Reduced ability to ignore concurrent distraction
Reduced ability to delete information that’s no longer relevant

57
Q

How does normal aging affect learning/memory?

A

Slower learning speed
Not all types of memory are equally vulnerable (episodic > working memory > semantic/lexical > Procedural)
Mild cognitive impairment is common, debate if precursor to Alzheimer type dementia

58
Q

How does normal aging affect language?

A

Syntax and morphology intact, word knowledge still increasing
Word finding may decline, language comprehension might be impacted if presented too quickly, but secondary to slower processing

59
Q

How does normal aging affect motor?

A

The main change is sarcopenia - the loss of skeletal muscle mass
This causes weakness (and thinking speed slows a little)

60
Q

How does normal aging affect respiratory?

A

Smaller lung volumes and speaking with a greater proportion of vital capacity are associated with aging

61
Q

How does normal aging affect nervous?

A

The main changes are cognitive slowing and reduced inhibition
Main theory of cognitive aging is that it represents reduced inhibition and slow speed, with contributions from perceptual deficits, domain-specific cognitive impairments and reduced cognitive capacity
Slower at perceiving, processing and reacting to information (particularly when the situation requires rapid processing of complex information)

62
Q

How does normal aging affect sensory?

A

Presbyopia: loss of visual acuity, seen first at near distances (cause is unknown)
Presbycusis: hair cell degeneration in the cochlea
Presbyosmia, Presbystasis: along with presbycusis, might be caused by interaction of body compression at foramen and loss of nerve fibers
Decreased somatosensory function, including tactile spatial acuity

63
Q

What doesn’t change with aging?

A

IQ - crystallized intelligence, personality (inhibitory control changes are usually just exaggerations of personality)

64
Q

What are the general principles of normal aging?

A

Overall, muscle mass decreases
Thinking speed slows down
Decreased somatosensory function, including tactile spatial acuity

65
Q

Describe the learning theory.

A

Behaviourism: operant conditioning principles, the learner is a blank slate and must be provided experience. New behaviours are acquired through associations of stimuli and responses. Eg: Drill/Rote work, repetitive practice, participation points, verbal reinforcement
Cognitivism: Humans process stimuli they receive rather than just responding to it → they think about what’s happening. Changes in behaviour indicate what is going on in the learners’ head. Learner plays an active role. Eg: Linking concepts, real word examples, mnemonics, analogies, imagery, problem solving
Constructivism: We all construct our own perspective of the world, based on individual experience. Learning based on how we individually interpret the world around us. Learning is unique for each person. Eg: Case studies, research projects, problem based learning, brainstorming

66
Q

Describe the different brown’s stages, providing age range in months, MLUm, MLU range, morphological structure, and a few examples.

A

1) 15-30 months, 1.75, 1.5-2.0, stage 1 sentence types, examples: nomination, negation, recurrence, possession, attribution, locative, agent-action, action-object, agent-object.
2) 28-36 months, 2.25, 2.0-2.5, will see present progressive (-ing), in, on, -s plurals. Examples include it going, in box, on tree, my cars.
3) 36-42 months, 2.75, 2.5-3.0, will see irregular past tense, -s possessives, uncontractible copula, examples include me fell down, doggie’s bone, are they there?
4) 40-46 months, 3.50, 3.0-3.7, includes articles, regular past tense (-ed), third person regular present tense, examples include the/a book, she jumped, he swims.

67
Q

List some possible assessments used at the various stages of language development.

A

Perlocuationary: feeding assessment, hearing assessment, overall development, parent-child communication and relationship, vocal assessment
Illocutionary: intentional communication? play observation, parent report instrument, can initiation be elicited?
Locutionary: play assessment, relationship between use of words as labels and functional play, receptive language, communicative function assessment.

68
