Q

early encoding

A

fetuses encode speech information into memory
- distinguish native language from foreign/ mothers voice to women’s voice
- preference for familiar nursey rhymes over new ones

after 30 months

37

Speech production

A

at 2 months infants make sounds that are language based
starting with cooing

38
Q

cooing

A

oooo and ahhhh

39
Q

when do infants begin making speech like sound that have no meaning
coooing turns to babbling

A

5 to 6 months

40

What is babbling

begins when?

A

extended repetition of certain single syllables
mamama dadada

6-7 months

41
Q

babbling is experience expectant learning

A

all babies babble
all babies gesture
sounds they make are similar no matter what language parents speak

42
Q

Phonemes

A

basic building block of language
- unique sounds can be joined to create words (P in pet/pat)

43
Q

Infants can distinguish many phonemes/sounds early as

A

1 month

44
Q

when do children use gestures (symbols)

A

before their first birthday

45
Q

Do gestures and words convey a message equally well?

A

Yes
gestures pave the way for language

46
Q

naming explosion

A

language spurt around 18 months
50-100 + words per month

47
Q

2 1/2 years of age
(four or more words per sentence)

A

ability to produce more complex sentences

48
Q

words or ending of words that make sentences more grammatical

A

grammatical morphemes

49
Q

underextension

A

using word to narrowly
using cat to refer only to family cat

50
Q

overextension
(More common)

A

using a word in a broader context than is appropriate
- common between 1 to 3
apply new word to group of similar experiences

open for = open the door/ peeling fruit/ or undoing shoelaces

51
Q

Overregularization

54
Q

Apgar evaluation

A

all newborns receive multiple examinations shortly after birth to detect obvious abnormalities and to determine the need for immediate resuscitation

55
Q

gestational age

A

defined in weeks as the duration of pregnancy before birth
ex: the period of time between conception and birth

56
Q

how can gestational age be estimated?

A

mothers last menstrual period
- inaccurate/unreliable
physical and neuromuscular characteristics of the fetus

57
Q

prenatal
post natal
perinatal

A

before birth
after birth
- pertaining to the period around the time of birth, from 28 week gestation through the seventh day following delivery

58
Q

first 8 weeks, all major organs formed

59
Q

fetal period

remaining 30 weeks, organs grow larger and become more complex

60
Q
