Language Learning strategies
listening to the syllable stress in words and identifying the strong-weak stress pattern
trochaic bias
between 12-24 months, children will use ______________ to support their language
gestures
Around __________ months of age there is a vocabulary explosion
18 months
theory that looks at present and perceivable features, does not allow for identifying abstract features
semantic feature theory
______________ has a strong influence on first word production
phonological development
the thought that you find strength/knowledge in what you already know/have to do something hard/new
bootstrapping
The first word typically appears around __________
12 months.
Learning a new word with only 3 exposures is referred to as _________
fast mapping
restricted meaning of words is _______________ vs. stretching the concept of a word meaning is __________
underextension, overextension
around ~12-24 months, children learn words ___________ and store them in chunks rather than at a phonemic level
holistically
model of development that uses 4 general stages/periods to describe milestones
Piaget's Stage Model of Cognitive Development
When a word is related to the "here and now." It has the same function no matter where it's used
context-bound
when do children typically start to have early multiword combinations
~18 months of age
objects are grouped by function or action based on experience with an object
functional-core theory
systematic procedures used by children to make adult words pronounceable
phonological processes
The 4 stages of play are _______, _________, ____________, _______________.
when a word can be used in a wider range of situations- shift from context-bound to referential
decontextualization
Why do children start to have an increase in learning around 18-24 months?
-maturation of memory & attention, starting to learn communicative intentions of other people, increased awareness of objects, language builds on itself
prototype theory
the likelihood of a sound pattern occurring, where common sounds sequences are perceived and produced more quickly than uncommon sound sequences
phonotactic probability
Using knowledge of syntax to learn the meanings or words
syntactic bootstrapping
The first 50 words are typically ________________
general nominals (common nouns)
After the _________ word milestone, there is an increased rate of word learning.
50
organizing individual concepts as a nodes with features branching off
hierarchical network model
a set of words that differ by a single phoneme, these similar sounding words cluster together and are stored in either dense or sparse areas. This concept is called _____________________
neighborhood density
