Language Disorders-exam 1 Flashcards
Vocal Learning Phase (1)
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
Utterance Acquisition Phase (2)
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
Structure, Analysis, and Computation Phase (3)
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
Integration and Elaboration Phase (4)
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
What phase does semantics start developing?
2: utterance acquisition
Define Speech Disorder
An impairment of the articulation of speech sounds, fluency, and or voice.
Define language disorder
Impaired comprehension &/or use of spoken, written &/or other symbol systems.
May involve form, content, &/or function of language in communication.
Name and define the systems of language
Phonology-speech sound Morphology-word structure Semantics-vocabulary Syntax-grammar and sentence structure Pragmatics-social language Prosody-intonation
Name the 5 language development theories
- Nativist theory
- Cognitive theory
- Behavioral theory
- Information/Processing theory
- Social interactionism theory
Nativist Theory
-who, and what does it say?
Noam Chomsky
Born with innate ability to learn language (language acquisition device - LAD)
Cognitive Theory
- who, and what does it say?
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)
Behavioral Theory
- who, what does it say?
BF Skinner
Learning fosters acquisition of verbal behaviors (not mental, cognitive, or innate) verbal community builds verbal behavior. Stimulus and response.
Information Processing Theory
- what does it say?
Cognitive functioning (the how)
Processing system encodes stimuli and allows previously stored info to be retrieved.
Organization, memory, transfer, and attention.
Auditory processing.
Social Interactionism Theory
- who, and what does it say?
Vygotsky
Language development is driven by social situations.
Not innate.
Language function is the focus.
Zone of Proximal Development
Systems of Speech
Articulation
Fluency
