These are the four approaches discussed that take arguments from both opposite views on the continuum of language acquisition theories.

When parents supply supportive communicative structure to their children we say they are providing this.
What is a scaffold?
300
Mothers who use more of this kind of speech have children with more rapid language development.
What is CDS?

What is the concept of object permanence?
300
The child is viewed a a passive recipient according to this view.
What is Classic Behavioral Approach?

The child is an active learner in this approach.
What is the Linguistic Approach?
400
This more recent cognitive approach states that children are information processors in transition from novice to skilled status.
What is the Information-Processing Approach?
400
In a classic study of hearing children of deaf parents, who did not sign to them, the children failed to do this.
What is learn to speak or sign?
500
These two language acquisition theories are the most different from each other.
What are Skinner's and Chomksy's approaches?
500
The term Performance refers to this.
What are the actual instances of language use?
500
Chomsky proposed these three important parts of an overall necessity of theory adequacy.
What is Descriptive adequacy, Model adequacy, and Theoretical adequacy?
500
This theorist states that language is only one of several abilities that result from cognitive development.
Who is Jean Piaget?
500
Research on impoverished environments found that this group of children scored much lower on measures of language comprehension than other maltreated children.
Who are severely neglected children?
