language
first words - CORRECT ANSWERS-12 months
Holophrases: - CORRECT ANSWERS-between 12 and 24 months

by about 24 months, children begin using telegraphic speech telegraphic speech, which
, which initially consists of only two words
, Under- and Overextension - CORRECT ANSWERS-underextension occurs when a
child applies a word too narrowly to objects or events
• overextension occurs when a child applies a word to a wider range of objects or
events than is appropriate
Over-Regularization - CORRECT ANSWERS-• over-regularization involves extending
grammatical rules to words that are exceptions

children are even-tempered and adapt easily to new situations
• difficult children are irritable and react negatively to new situations
• slow-to-warm up children have low activity levels and mildly negative reactions to new
situations
