Study Notes
Individuals with Learning Differences
- No single "cause" for Specific Learning Disorders (SLD)
- Different profiles of strengths and weaknesses can lead to same behavioral difficulties
- High comorbidity with other SLD: e.g., 25% of children with dyscalculia also have language disability, 18% have ADHD, and 70% have dyslexia (McGrath et al., 2020)
Teaching Children with Learning Differences
- Special Education: range of services to help children with disabilities learn
- Inclusive Education: promoting a sense of belonging for all learners
Studying Infant Language Development
- Non-nutritive sucking method: measuring habituation and dishabituation responses to sounds
- Infants can detect differences in sounds and show habituation (DeCasper et al.)
- Newborn babies can distinguish between their maternal language and non-native language (Mehler, 1980s)
Language Development Milestones
- Cooing (2-3 months): making deliberate vowel sounds
- Babbling (6 months): repeating strings of consonants and vowels, becoming more similar to native language over time
- Understanding and producing words (12-18 months): pointing and naming objects, identifying simple body parts
- First words appear around 1 year of age, with receptive language exceeding productive language
Foundations of Language
- Five basic components of language:
- Phonology: knowledge of sounds used in a language
- Morphology: understanding how sounds combine to form words
- Semantics: meaning or content of words and sentences
- Syntax: knowledge of sentence structure rules
- Pragmatics: understanding how to use language to communicate effectively
Infant Language Learning
- Holophrases: one-word expressions to express complete thoughts
- Baby sign language: using gestures to communicate around 8 months of age
- Non-nutritive sucking paradigm: studying language processing in infants
Theories of Language Development
- Learning Theory: language learned through operant conditioning and imitation
- Nativist Theory: innate capacity to learn language, with Language Acquisition Device (LAD) and Universal Grammar
- Interactionist Theory: language influenced by maturation and context
Language Development in School-Age Children
- Metalinguistic awareness: understanding the nature and qualities of language
- Vocabulary expansion and greater understanding of word meanings
- Development of language pragmatics
Bilingualism and Learning a Second Language
- Simultaneous bilingualism: exposure to two languages from birth
- Advantages of bilingualism: cognitive skills, memory, selective attention, and analytical reasoning
Emotional Development in Infancy
- Emotional competence: understanding and managing emotions
- Emotional development influenced by social interaction and emotional understanding
Reciprocal Relationships between Maternal Depression and Infants' Negative Reactions
- Maternal depression linked with infant negative reactions and language development
- Quality of parent-child interactions influence language development and brain function
Emotional Development in Childhood
- Emotional understanding: understanding factors that affect emotions
- Emotion regulation: managing emotional experiences and expressions
- Contextual influences on emotional development: neighborhood and community violence, parental stress and frustration### Thinking and Knowing
- There are four types of adult attachments: Secure, Anxious, Avoidant, and Disorganized, which influence parenting behaviors
- Adult attachment can be influenced by childhood attachment experiences and predicts internal working models and relationship quality in early adulthood
Empirical Articles
- Main sections: Introduction, Experiment, Methods, Participants, Materials, Procedure, Results, General Discussion
- Empirical articles typically have a multi-experiment paper structure
- Introduction: sets up the research question and provides background information
- Methods: describes participants, materials, and procedures used in the study
- Results: presents the findings of the study
- General Discussion: interprets the results, relates them to previous research, and discusses implications
Reading a Journal Article
- Identify the primary question of the article
- Determine the claim in response to the question
- Evaluate how the data support the primary claim
- Read the article non-linearly, focusing on headings, subheadings, and key phrases to identify the main points
Moral Reasoning
- Piaget's perspective: children's understanding of rules develops through three stages (heteronomous, transitional, and autonomous morality)
- Kohlberg's perspective: children's conceptions of justice and moral reasoning develop through six stages, categorized into pre-conventional, conventional, and post-conventional reasoning
- Infants display understanding of prosocial behavior, with a preference for helpers over hinderers at six and ten months old
Cognition
- Gender differences in cognition:
- Spatial abilities: males tend to perform better
- Verbal abilities: females tend to perform better
- STEM occupations: underrepresentation of women, with various factors contributing to this gap (e.g., stereotype threat, lack of role models)
Academic and Occupational Development
- Gender differences in academic achievement:
- Reading: girls outperform boys
- Math: boys outperform girls in some countries, but the gap is closing
- Occupation: fewer women in STEM fields, with potential explanations including gender stereotypes, male-dominated cultures, and math anxiety### Theories of Intelligence
- There are three forms of intelligence: Analytical, Creative, and Practical
- Traditional IQ tests measure analytical ability and may underestimate intellectual strengths of some children
- The Sternberg Triarchic Abilities Test (STAT test) facilitates defining intelligent behavior by culture and context
Psychometric Approach to Intelligence
- Binet and Simon developed the first intelligence test in France
- Terman developed the Stanford–Binet Intelligence Scale, which measures five cognitive abilities in both non-verbal and verbal formats
- Knowledge
- Quantitative reasoning
- Visual–spatial processing
- Working memory
- Fluid reasoning
- Intelligence quotient (IQ) = mental age/chronological age × 100
Assessing IQ
- Wechsler scales of IQ for all ages:
- Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS - IV): ages 16-90:11 years
- Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-V): ages: 6-16:11 years
- Wechsler Primary and Preschool Scale of Intelligence (WPPSI-IV): ages 2:6 – 7:7 years
- Matrix Reasoning from WPPSI assesses fluid reasoning
- Receptive Vocabulary from WPPSI measures vocabulary skills
Development of Intelligence
- IQ shows stability starting at age 4, with large individual differences
- Intelligence scores are stable from childhood through adolescence
- Research findings on intelligence change in adulthood are mixed
- Seattle Longitudinal Study shows fluid intelligence declines earlier than crystallized intelligence
Cultural Influences on IQ
- Cultural influences play a significant role in shaping IQ test performance
- Ethnic and socioeconomic differences in IQ are found, with IQ scores closely linked to education
- Stereotype threat affects IQ test performance
- Bias in IQ tests can be reduced by including culturally fair questions and reducing reliance on verbal tasks
Neurodiversity
- The concept of neurodiversity emphasizes that variation in neurodevelopment leads to strengths as well as impairments
- Neurodevelopmental disorders include autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, intellectual disabilities, and specific learning disorders
Specific Learning Disorders
- Characteristics of giftedness include exceptional abilities, creativity, and outstanding performance
- Giftedness needs to be developed and nurtured through enrichment or acceleration
- Diagnosis of specific learning disorder (SLD) is based on IQ-Achievement Discrepancy
- Dyslexia is a severe difficulty in learning to read words, with a prevalence rate of 5-15% in school-aged children
- Dyscalculia is a learning disorder related to mathematics
