Study Notes
Typical Language Developmental Milestones
- 0-3 Months: Communication primarily through crying; infants turn head towards family voices.
- 3-6 Months: Introduction of cooing sounds to attract caregiver's attention; begins vocal play.
- 6-12 Months: Vocalization includes intonation; child starts to produce and repeat word-like sounds.
- 12-18 Months: Understanding of simple instructions begins; usage of two- and three-word sentences focusing on essential words for meaning.
- 18-36 Months: Vocabulary expands from approximately 5 words to around 300; emphasis on nouns and adjectives during early learning stages.
- 48-72 Months: Ability to follow complex instructions; indicates advanced language comprehension and expounding vocabulary growth.
Artistic Expression and Language Development
- Importance of artistic expression highlighted in language development; vibrant classroom displays reflect children's thoughts on language.
- Creative activities such as drawing and writing are integrated into daily routines, enabling imaginative communication and understanding of language.
Implications of Nativist Perspective
- Curriculum must include ample opportunities for children to explore language; promotes hypothesis testing of both oral and written forms.
- A connection exists between cognitive development and language acquisition; cognitive development must precede language growth.
Cognitive Developmental Perspective: Sensorimotor Stage
- Ages 0-2: Children are prelinguistic; cognitive development primarily through the senses.
- Critical precursor for language onset is the development of object permanence; children understand that objects exist even when not visible.
- Piaget's Concept: Object permanence failure is a key factor influencing prelinguistic behavior in early childhood.
Symbolic Representation in Language
- After achieving object permanence, children begin using symbols like words to represent objects and actions.
- Symbolic representation manifests when children utilize signs or symbols in new situations, reflecting cognitive and language development interrelationship.
