Study Notes
Stage 1: Perlocutionary Stage (0-8 months)
- Attentional Interactions: Infants respond to stimuli but lack specific intentions; behavior includes crying and cooing.
- Undifferentiated Behavior: Actions are random and not goal-directed; caregivers often interpret these actions.
- Contingency Interactions: Actions aimed at gaining and maintaining attention without specific differentiation; infants show an interest in manipulating objects and start to recognize object functions.
Stage 2: Illocutionary Stage (8-12 months)
- Differentiated Interactions: Infants begin to plan and adjust behaviors with specific goals in mind.
- Intentional Communication Emerges: Use of gestures and vocalizations to convey messages becomes prominent; eye contact is crucial.
- Behavioral Repetition: Infants frequently repeat behaviors to communicate; they actively show objects and employ a full range of functional gestures.
Stage 3: Locutionary Stage (12+ months)
- First Meaningful Word: Marked by the child's utterance of their initial word with intentional meaning.
- Continued Use of Gestures: Gestures remain important in communication, enhancing verbal expression.
