Q

Until what age can a newborn easily distinguish between phonemes in any language?

A

Starting at 6 months, starts to lose ability to distinguish btwn phonemes that are not contrastive in their native language.

By 10 months, ability is usually lost.

(Called “Perceptive Narrowing/Reorganization”)

25
Perlocutionary stage: cooing occurs...
Age 2-4 months - tongue is able to be more mobile as oral space increases - very nasal sounds; vowels
26
Perlocutionary stage: Vocal play
Age 4 - 6/7 months - Breathing and phonation are more coordinated - Quasi-consonants
27
Behavioural Theory
- believes that lanugage develops from explicit learning, not innate systems - children only learn the language they're exposed to - speech behaviours are reinforced with responses
28
Nativist Theory
Chomsky - universal grammar rules in all languages - everyone is born with a "Language Acquisition Device" - believe it's important to focus on syntax in therapy - doesn't think you need to reward child for speaking; therapists say you do for someone who acquired skills atypically
29
Cognitive Theory
Piaget - proper dev. of cognition is necessary for linguistic expression (e.g. a child needs to be exposed to a dog before they can say those words) - children must progress through stages of development (e.g. children's use of the phrase "all gone" usually coincides with their understanding of object permanence) - believes cognitive precursors are innate but language is not
30
Social Interactionism - therapy using this theory would be based on increasing ......?
Vygotsky & Bruner Language only possible due to human interaction Child's conversation partners are significant contributors to language acquisition Therapy focusing on this theory would be based on increasing children's motivation to communicate Languge continues to be refined across the lifespan
31
Which of the following does NOT occur between 8-10 months? a) Understanding no b) Variegated babbling (bamagaba) c) Uncovering a hidden toy (object permanence) d) Using "all gone" e) Gestural language such as shaking head no

39
A child is 21 months old and has 30 words. Are they considered a late-talker?
Yes - fewer than 40
40
A child is 24 months old and has 50 words. Are they considered a late-talker?
Depends - they're right on the cusp, should be above 100 within the next 6 months.
41
A child is turning 3 next month. She follows 2 step directions and understands simple opposites (receptive). She is putting 2 words together and asking simple questions; vocab of about 120 words (expressive). Is she on track?
Receptive - somewhat on track but aging out of that category. Expressive - operating at a 1-2 year category, behind.
42
Preoperational Stage - age and what are the key elements?
2-7 years Lack of conservation Egocentric Able to play pretend, ask lots of questions Overextends and underextends word meanings
43

0-2 years Basic cause + effect relations acquired Learns to use referent even when not physically present
44
Concrete Operational - Age and key elements
7 - 11 years Understands conservation Good at categorizations Understands that if you reverse your actions, the opposite will happen Mainly sticking to how they know to do things
45
Formal Operational - Age and key elements
12 + years No longer ego-centric (able to take others' perspectives) Multiple solutions to problems Can think in the abstract Deductive reasoning
46

T/F: It is normal for children learning two languages to be slower in their development of each language compared to monolinguals in their development of one language.
True - they are often slightly behind in each language for vocab and grammar but are similar to peers for phonology and narrative skills

Necessary to evaluate their L1 DLD: More difficulty with tense markers; frequent omissions > incorrect usage

True (according to DSM-V)
64
How does one determine the severity of difficulties?
- According to norms from standardized tests - Clinical judgement - Analysis of formal and informal ax

Refer to the case history/interview and clinical observations Mild --> some impact but doesn't prevent them from participating in age-appropriate actiities; able to function independently with minimal help Moderate --> significant difficulties that require accommodations to function in class; able to function with supervision Severe --> Significant support needed to function in a normal class; can demonstrate some functional abilities with supervision Profound --> Few functional abilities; requires maximum support to perform basic activities
66
