What is the definition of Communication? Communication is the process of encoding, transmitting, and decoding signals to exchange information and ideas.
Differentiate between speech, language, and communication. Speech is the neuro muscular process for producing sounds for communication. Communication is the the process of encoding, transmitting, and decoding signals that are comprised of arbitrary symbols and rules that represent concepts (e.g., language).
Differentiate between content, form and use Content (semantics), Form (syntax, morphology, phonology), Use (pragmatics)
What is linguistic competence? How language is understood
What is linguistic performance? Speech

What is the zone of proximal development? This is the difference between what a child cannot do with help and what a child can do on his/her own.
What is Schema? This is a concept, mental category, cognitive structure (e.g., dog)
What is Assimilation? This is the inclusion of new stimulus into an existing schema (e.g., German Shepard)
What is Accommodation? This is the development of a new schema (e.g., cat)
What is Equilibrium? This is the balance between assimilation and accommodation, balance
Describe the process of how schema, assimilation, accommodation, and equilibrium work together. A child will develop a schema based on input they encounter. As the receive more input they add new information into their existing schema. They may develop a new schema for new information. Equilibrium is the balance between it all.
What are Piaget's stages of development? 1. Sensorimotor Intelligence 0-2 yrs - reflexive motor 2. Preoperational thought 2-7 yrs - conceptual thinking/solving problems 3. Concrete operations 7-11 yrs - logical thinking 4. Formal operations 11-15 yrs - abstract thinking
What are the sub-stages of the the Sensorimotor stage of development (according to Piaget)? 1. 0-4 m: Reflexive 2. 4-8 m: Coordinating - exploration/grasping 3. 8-12 m: Intentional 4. 12-18 m: Explores - means end, walking, moving 5. 18-24 m: Functional - problem solving
How is language related to cognition? Certain cognitive attainments are needed in order for a child to develop language concepts. For example, without a sense of object permanence, a child would have difficulty understanding early semantic functions.
Cognition: Object permanence Language: Early semantic funtions
Cognition: Causality Language: Development of verbs
Cognition: Means-end Language: Development of communicative intentionality, related to 2-word utterances
Cognition: Imitation Language: Related to naming and gestures
Cognition: Play Language: Related to object play and language
Explain how each element of cognition is related to language. Just explain it. Use lots of good words.
What are stages of symbolic play? 1. 18-21 months: autosymbolic 2. 21-24 months: act on something else 3. 24 months: true symbolic play
Semantic development: Age - 12 months Words understood: 3-50 Words produced: 1st word
Semantic development: Age - 18 months Words understood: 200 Words produced: 50
Semantic development: Age - 24 months Words Produced: 200-300
Semantic development: Age - 3 years Words produced: 900-1000
Semantic development: Age - 4 years Words produced: 1500
Semantic development: Age - 5 years Words produced: 5000
What is contextualized comprehension? This is comprehension that is tied to the environment. For example, a child would need gestures/pointing to an object in order to understand what is being communicated. It begins around 8 months.
What is linguistic comprehension? This is comprehension that is based on words alone. The child does not need any external signals or cues to understand what the word spoken means.
