- they make sounds before understanding them
- they make words before sentences
- they first understnad words before before producing them
mile stones
0-3m : orients speech/ cooing
3-7m: descriminate speech sounds/simply babbling (mi,ba)
8-12m:speech perception nerrow to their own languague/ babbling mama or dada
18-24m: can understand more complex senteces/expressive vocabulary (faster), two word combination
2-3 years:can understand longer and complex senteces/plurals and say 1000 words
home sign
signs that are not formal sing languague but used inside the house as a way for communication in mute children(created by the child) if parents dont teach them asl
children will crete languague if they dont have acees to it
infant direct speech (IDS)
- baby talk
- infants like it
- it can facilitate languague leraning( for individual words) (because of tone,pauses,slowness)
- it can help with vocabulary
- it is not universal(more in western countries)
caregiver sensitivity can help with languague
mothers who contigent( smiling, touching)to childrens actions promotos languague development (baby babbled better -more like english when mother was doing it for a specif action rather then randomly)
children in low socioeconomic statues
tend to hear less words
prosody
rhythm and intonation of a language
word segmentation
the ability to analyze words from a continuous stream of fluent speech
it might have to do with statistical regularies
7.5months old
looking while listening
a procedure that test infants languague comprehension
they say a word/sentence and show two images(one that has to do with the sentence an the other dosnt) the infant should look at the picture that has to do with the sentece for longer to show comprehension
through this test** 6 months **olds learn meaning
joint engagement
both caregiver and infant are atending to an object at the same time
16-19months learan new object labels when caregiver and infant are inetracting withe same thing that is not true hen caregiver is looking elsewhere
19months follow the direction of caregivers gaze to understand labels
babbling
- 6-9months
- reduplicated babling
- non-reduplicated babling
reduplicated babbling
- true syllablesin the infants vocal production
- ex:mamama or dadada
- not for communication,more for practice (while they are playing)
- deaf children dont do this kinda of babbling much
- how much also depends in culture (for hearing infants)
