Language Development Acquisition & Theories

Genie What was Genie’s overall condition like? – Social – Physical – Cognitive What did the cognitive testing reveal about how Genie’s brain developed? Was Genie’s early language deprivation the ONLY factor that contributed to her abnormal language development?

How is language structured? Phonemes: smallest unit of sound (ch, st, b) no attached meaning. (40-50 unique phonemes) Morphemes: smallest unit of meaning (ing, dog[s]) Syntax: order of word, helps us interpret meanings We are going to the store. Nouns/subjects 1 st, verbs/predicates 2 nd.

How do we learn language? Learning Theories: Exposure, Reinforcement, Repetition Nativist Theories: “hardwired” to learn Both sides have ardent supporters

Learning Theories B. F. Skinner Principles of learning Associate shape of mouth and sound Reinforced with smiles and tone of voice Observation Learning, mimic

Nativist Theories Noam Chomsky – Ability to speak is hardwired, but environment is the trigger. – Innate – LAD: Language Acquisition Device Eric Lenneberg – Expanded the idea for a critical period for language acquisition.
