77
Q

What do clinicians base children’s skills on for their language development?

A

their play

78
Q

Why is play used to base a child’s ability for language development?

A

if kids use play without pretending means that kids do not have the ability to use symbols to represent other things

79
Q

What are the stages of play development?

A
  • objects-related skills
  • means to an end skills (using a tool to complete a task - pushing a chair to a table to get a cookie)
  • representational skills - using imagination
80
Q

What is the order of skills for relating to objects?

A

reflexes
consistent use of objects (only put in mouth, etc.)
using objects for their different purposes
using function actions on objects
combining and creating representation actions on objects

81
Q

What is reflexive experience of objects referring to, and when does it occur in development?

A

babies have reflex-dependent actions that are used to enable their grasping, sucking for feeding, etc.

82
Q

When does reflexive experience of objects occur?

A

from birth to 4 months

83
Q

What is undifferentiated actions on objects, and when does it occur?

A

babies using consistent actions on objects, regardless of the type object, from month 4 to month 7

84
Q

What is exploration and differential actions on objects with different affordance properties, and when does it occur?

A

from 7 to 10 months babies show a preference to particular objects that are soft, etc.

85
Q

What are conventional or functional actions on objects, and when does it occur?

A

it begins a close to 1 years old (10 - 12 months), and it’s using objects for their intended purposes (e.g., brushing hair with brush)

86
Q

At what age can a parent determine whether most reflexes diminish to determine voluntary motor control, as opposed to involuntary motor control?

A

4 months onwards, and no control could be indicative of cerebral palsy

87
Q

Why is cerebral palsy so limiting?

A

it prevents volitional action from occurring, apart from reflexes which limit how a baby can determine his/her own actions

88
Q

What determines the development of means-ends skills?

A

1) reflexie experience of events
2) random actions producing results
3) direct means to ends
4) indirect means to ends

90
Q

What are indirect means to ends in development?

A

at 8 to 10 months, a baby looks at a parent when pointing at an item to get it

91
Q

What are the first 3 development of means-ends skills?

A
reflexes
random actions
intentional actions
(also:
indirect means
tool use)
92
Q

Development of representational skills is associated with what 3 categories?

A

index
iconic
true sign

93
Q

What is a “true sign”?

A

a type of representational skill development that can represent an entity on perceiving a sign which has arbitrarily been assigned to it
e.g., associated the animal cat with the morpheme “cat”

94
Q

What category of development of representational skills is associated with pre-6 month year olds?

A

recognizing mother’s voice

95
Q

What is “iconic” representation?

A

representing an entity when looking at a symbol that is reminiscent of it
e.g., a DRAWING of a dog is a dog (vs. a dog’s tail is the family dog)

96
Q

when does index representation occur?

A

6 to 7 months old

97
Q

What occurs in the pre-intentional stages of sociolinguistic development?

A

reflexive behaviours that are reactive up to 4 months, and action without intention from 4 to 8 months

98
Q

At what stages do adults interpret meaning of communication in sociolinguistic development?

A

at reflexive/reactive and pre-intentional stages (parent infers without actually knowing)

99
Q

What occurs during the intentional stage of sociolinguistic development?

A

using symbols such as speech, non-symbolic movements such as pointing, as well as child intentionally communicates in order for the parent to try to interpret it

100
Q

If a baby is reaching for objects and finds a rattle which she shakes while sitting up, how old is she?

A

it is pre-intentional but not reflexive, so she is likely just about 8 months

101
Q

if a child plays with a toy and then looks at her dad to grab her a stuffed animal, how old is she?

A

since she is using indirect end-means and is intentionally playing with a toy, she is probably around 8 months

102
Q

What is at the top of the general assessment approaches?

A

a language screening

103
Q

What is at the bottom of the general assessment approaches?

A

ongoing evaluation through repeated sessions

104
Q

If a child has language concerns, what would you do first?

A

if a hearing test has already concluded it isn’t a hearing issue, I would undergo a language screening (looks for potential issues, rather than a full diagnostic)

105
Q

Following a language screening, what would be needed to determine next steps?

A

talking to the parent about the child’s case history

106
Q

Once you know what concerns the parent has with their child, what is next to do?

A

an informal observation would be helpful, particularly for autistic children

107
Q

When are standardized tests used?

A

following an informal observation to provide more “objective” results

108
Q

What is the key when assessing language development concerns?

A

ongoing data collection and practice

109
Q

What is needed for language comprehension and expression?

A
knowledge of:
syntax
morphology
phonology
semantics
pragmatics
110
Q

What is morphology?

A

word inflections which change the meaning of the root word e.g., plurals, tenses, possession, etc.

111
Q

What is receptive vocabulary?

A

determining content (or pictureable words) vs. function (or worlds added to create a sentence)
e.g., cat
vs.
and, the

112
Q

What are bound morphemes?

A

e.g., -ing to run = running

113
Q

What else is needed for word order?

A

Q

What about sentences determines issues?
