Morpheme Shortest meaningful unit. ex. ‘California’ has 1, ‘trucks’ has 2

Semantics understanding the different meanings of language ex.“Sherry was green with jealousy” does not mean that Sherry was literally green
Pragmatics Rules specifying how language is to be used appropriately in different social contexts to achieve goals. ex. Saying chill to friend but not to Mom
Prosody How sounds are produced ; The “melody” of speech, including pitch, intonation, accentuation of syllables in a word or words in a sentence, and the duration or timing of speech
Broca’s Speech is produced
Broca’s Aphasia Speech is very slow and deliberate. Word production is damaged not understanding
Wernicke’s Incoming language is processed –comprehended
Wernicke’s Aphasia Understanding is damaged and fluent speech production
How Does Language Develop? Nature humans have a unique genetic capacity to learn language
Universal grammar- A system of common rules and properties of language that may allow infants to grow up learning any of the world’s languages.
Language acquisition device (LAD) sifts through language, applies the universal rules, and begins tailoring the system to the specifics of the language spoken in the young child’s environment
Poverty of the stimulus- The language input to young children is so impoverished or limited that they could not possibly acquire language (without a powerful, innate language acquisition device).
How Does Language Develop? Nurture – Environment and Learning Children’s language development is influenced bytheir environment
Behaviorists: Language is Learned
Child-directed speech Short, simple sentences spoken slowly in a high-pitched voice with repetition and exaggerated emphasis on key words
expansion a more grammatically correct or complete response to a child’s verbalization “Kitty goed” elicits “Yes, the cat ran away”
Deaf Isolates Develop a form of sign language even when not exposed to it by others.
Word Segmentation ability when they detect a target word in a stream of speech.
Cooing Repeated vowel sounds such as “ooooh” and “aaaah” when babies are content
Babbling Repeated consonant-vowel combinations such as “baba” or “dadada”
Noam Chomsky language is described in terms of transformational grammar – rules of syntax for transforming basic thoughts into a variety of sentence forms
Universality of language Every Culture has language, with similar underlying principles -Nouns, verbs, tenses, word order Every normally developing person learns language Even Deaf isolates develop rudimentary sign language
When Does Language Develop? Infants produce sounds that exercise the vocal cords and provide opportunities to learn how airflow and different mouth and tongue positions affect sounds
syntactic bootstrapping process of using where a word appears in a sentence to determine meaning of the word "context clues"
Holophrases first words that convey an entire sentence of meaning ex.“Shoe” means “There is Mommy’s shoe”
telegraphic speech communication using simple sentences that consist primarily of content words and omit less meaningful words
fast mapping method allowing children to use sentence context to help make an educated guess about word meaning "context clues"
vocabulary spurt at 18 months of age the pace of word learning quickens dramatically
Overextension the use of a word to refer to a too-broad range of objects or events ex. All furry, four-legged animals are “dogs”
Underextension the use of a word in too-narrow fashion ex.“Kitty” is used only for the family pet and not in reference to other cats
overregularization process of extending observed grammatical rules to abnormal cases where the rules do not apply ex.“Foots”(plural) or “hurted” (past tense)
Metalinguistic awareness knowledge of language as a system
Mastery Motivation intrinsic rationale to become proficient in and control the environment evident early in infancy
alphabetic principle- The idea that the letters in printed words represent the sounds in spoken words in a systematic way
Dyslexia reading disability experienced by children who have normal intellectual ability and no sensory impairments or emotional difficulties that would explain difficulty learning to read
phonics (code-oriented) approach teaches children to analyze words into the component sounds (letter-sound correspondence rules)
whole-language (look-say) approach emphasizes reading for meaning by teaching children to recognize words by sight or to determine meaning by using contextual clues
Ability grouping when students are grouped according to ability and taught with ability- level peers
Goodness of fit an appropriate match between the person’s characteristics and her environment
Working vs. Nonworking high school students Students who worked 20+ hours each week had lower grade-point averages
Personality Characteristic patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving
(Dispositional) Traits- Relatively enduring dimensions or qualities of personality along which people differ (for example, extraversion, aloofness).
Trait- A stable, enduring quality that a person shows in most situations.

Self-esteem- Regarding oneself as a worthwhile person; a positive evaluation of oneself.
Personality theory- A system of concepts, assumptions, ideas, and principles used to understand and explain personality.
Psychoanalytic theory- Freudian theory of personality: Human behavior and personality are determined largely by psychological factors, many of which are unconscious
Trait theorists- A psychologist interested in classifying, analyzing, and interrelating traits to understand personality.
The Big Five description Proposes that personality has five universal dimensions used to characterize people’s personalities
The Big Five traits (OCEAN) Openness to experience Conscientiousness Extroversion Agreeableness Neuroticism
Joint attention the sharing of perceptual experiences by infants and their caregivers
Self-recognition the ability to recognize oneself in a mirror or photograph.
Mirror rouge test Demonstrate the development of self-recognition by putting a dot of rouge on a baby’s nose and placing the infant in front of a mirror. 18 to 24 months of age touched their noses rather than the mirror
