Study Notes
Theory of Mind (ToM) in Infants
- Key foundational skill for ToM emergence in infancy is joint attention with caregivers
Complex Sentence Example
- Example of a complex sentence: "I told Sally who told Mommy."
Decontextualized Language in Narratives
- Key feature of narratives that makes them decontextualized language forms is requiring distancing from immediate experience to discuss past or imaginary events
Contractible Auxiliary
- Example of a contractible auxiliary: "Mommy's working"
Latest Developing Phonemes
- The latest developing phonemes are "m," "n," "p," and "b."
Earliest Developing Pronouns
- The first pronouns to develop in children are "I" and "mine."
Preschooler's Perceptual Descriptions
- Example of a preschooler describing an item based on perceptual characteristics: "A hammer is used to build things."
Discrepancies in Sound Mastery Research
- Factors contributing to discrepancies in research on the age of sound mastery include: differences in criteria for defining when a sound is acquired and inconsistencies in child language exposure.
Narrative vs. Conversation
- Narratives are different from conversations because narratives involve a monologue where the speaker provides all the information, while conversations involve turn-taking.
Conjunctions in Compound Sentences
- Preschoolers typically use "and" first when constructing compound sentences.
Preschool Definitions and Context
- Preschool definitions are considered "context-bound" due to their heavy reliance on a child's current experiences and surroundings.
Social Interactions and ToM Development
- Social interactions are critical for ToM development because they allow children to practice understanding and predicting others' mental states.
Grammatical Morphemes in Language Dev.
- Grammatical morphemes provide grammatical detail and structure to sentences.
Importance of Basic Concepts
- Basic concepts are critical for children to follow directions and participate in classroom routines.
Word Relationship Skills in Preschoolers
- Preschoolers begin to develop the skill of categorizing items and identifying how they "fit together."
Primitive Narrative Stage
- The primitive narrative stage is characterized by labels and descriptions of events or actions with no central theme or organization.
Child's Mental Dictionary
- The term for a child's rapidly growing mental dictionary during preschool years is "lexicon."
Example of Decontextualized Language
- Example of decontextualized language: "My mom baked a chocolate cake yesterday."
Early Developing Sounds
- Early developing sounds include "m," "p," "b," and "w."
"Wh" Question Mastery
- The earliest "wh" question types mastered during language development are where questions.
Shared Properties of Oral and Written Narratives
- A shared property between oral narration and written text is the use of concise and complex syntax.
Contrasting Contextualized and Decontextualized Language
- Contextualized language is used in immediate surroundings, while decontextualized language describes events beyond the "here and now."
Parental Storybook Reading and Semantic Development
- Parental storybook reading enhances vocabulary growth in preschoolers.
Age of "Adult Standard Speech"
