hearing scientists

Effectiveness
average conditions
efficiency
quick, effective methods bringing about greatest positive change
pre-language
caregivers talk to infants as if they understand
reciprocal relationship beings early
intentionality
8-9mos
share through gestures
phonetically consistent forms/protowords
consistent vocal patterns
toddler language
,Have 50 single words and combine them at 18 mos
3- and 4-word combinations appear soon after
reformulating
repeating the child's utterance in mature form
fast mapping
the fact that children can map a word onto an underlying concept after only a single exposure
mean length of utterance (MLU)
The average length of children's spoken statements (measured in phonemes).
metalinguistic skills
in the understanding of language, skills that reflect awareness of the underlying structure of
language
figurative language
Language that cannot be taken literally since it was written to create a special effect or feeling.
risk factors for learning impairments
male, ongoing hearing problems, more reactive temperament

substantial limitations in intellectual functioning, adaptive behaviour
language characteristics of intellectual disabilities
, moderate-severe language delays, phonological errors
shorter. more immature forms
learning disabilities
Heterogeneous group of disorders manifested by significant difficulties in the development and
use of listening, speaking, reading, writing, reasoning, or mathematical abilities
lifespan issues: learning disabilities
little interest in language/books, unable to keep up with linguistic demands of classroom
learning disabilities: language characteristics
all aspects of language can be affected, difficulty deducing language rules
specific language impairment
- Typical nonverbal intelligence but deficits in a variety of nonverbal tasks.
- Language performance is significantly lower than nonverbal intelligence.
lifespan issues: specific language impairment
poor social skills, negative peer perceptions, academic difficulties
lexical competition
a significant factor in these children's poorer word definitions
language characteristics: ASD
