The article, “Three Treatments for Bilingual Children With Primary Language Impairment: Examining Cross-Linguistic and Cross-Domain Effects”, presents a study that was funded by a grant received from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD). A common developmental disorder such as the one examined in this study, Primary or Specific Language Impairment (PLI), is defined by poor language abilities not attributable to neurological, sensory, cognitive, or motor impairments
SLP’s use when conducting a research design is a quantitate research method. When using this method, researchers test a hypothesis, identify cause and effect relationship, and explain behaviors objectively (Hammer, 2011). Researchers utilizing this specific method have found valuable information pertaining to this field. Another research method that is not commonly used is the qualitative method. “qualitative methods can be used to………. (Hammer, 2011). Because they are not commonly used, there
The ability to read and write are a much needed skill in today’s world. Children with a specific language impairment are at a greater risk of literacy deficit than their typical developing peers (Hugh, Fey, & Zhang, 2002). During early childhood; recognizing, modifying curriculum, and community resources; will all play a vital part in combating the literacy deficit with children whom have a language impairment. Additionally, this paper will discuss the effects of an educational experience lacking

which are linguistic expressions that come from the terminology of the more concrete source concept, e.g., JOURNEY, which is used to understand another, usually more abstract concept, e.g., LOVE. Thus, expressions related to love that come from the domain of journey are linguistic metaphorical expressions, while the corresponding conceptual metaphor is LOVE IS A JOURNEY. Conceptual metaphors are used mostly unconsciously, automatically, without considerable effort. They are central to our understanding
Robert V. Kail addresses the increasing synergy of global and domain-specific theories in his article “Cognitive Development Includes Global and Domain-Specific Processes.” Kail is a part of the Department of Psychological Studies at Purdue University, and his aim in the article is to “present evidence suggesting that both global and domain-specific processes make important contributions to cognitive development” (Kail 445). In order to arrive at his conclusion, Kail highlights the flaws of an either/or
program to be understood by the target user. The fundamental elements in readability are the language syntax and how it is related to the problem domain of the programming language. For example, in general purpose languages as Java or C where target users are mainly developers or engineers, the syntax is close to logical and machine instructions. In contrast, in the design of Domain Specific Programming Languages (DSL) the reduction of the required amount of programming expertise is critical [Mernik,
children’s mind as a blank slate, which means that children develop language only by imitating the adults’ version of the language. As a result, parents can construct their child language based on their beliefs and what they want. However, that cannot be accurate all the time. Children are creative. They create their own language rules by themselves. As the get exposed more to the language, they form their own hypotheses about the language rules. They use these rules and test them while speaking. These

During the first couple years of life, infants go through a rapid series of development relating to nearly every domain, such as motor, language, social, and cognitive development. One of the key systems to develop is the motor system. Classic theory in psychology highlights the importance of sensory experience, through the sensorimotor stage of development theorized by Jean Piaget (Piaget, 1970). While modern psychologists are not likely to maintain that development happens in stages, the basic
Reading books to young children is substantial to their language development. It allows them not only to be entertained, but to also match words to pictures. I read the Picture Book as Literature story and I found it very informational. “One role of pictures in a picture book is to enhance the meaning of a story by illustrating the words.” (Sonia Landes) Pictures are more than just an entertaining touch to the book, instead it helps children to visualize the story and to dig deeper into the context

arise as you participate in moving information around the world. Increasingly, disseminating information around the world happens in different languages, and several media. The first responsibility is to communicate the information, whatever it may be, and the second, to accommodate the needs of translators, customers, and end-users. There are also some specific things to anticipate for new audiences. Being aware of some of these issues and making the necessary accommodations will save you time, effort
A pidgin is a language which has no native speakers and was developed as a mean of communication between people who do not have a common language. A pidgin is no one’s native language. Pidgins seem particularly likely to arise when two groups with different language are communicating in a place where there is also a third dominant language. For example, on Caribbean slave plantations in the seventeenth and the eighteenth centuries, West African people were forcefully separated from others who used

In addition, other types of psychological testing can include, achievement, aptitude, neuropsychological, occupational, and specific clinical test that can measure current levels of depression or anxiety. For example, the assessment instrument called the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), measures characteristic attitudes
Language is a key component of the expression and construction of both group and individual identity. Differences in gender identity has resulted in the parallel development of genderlects and gender roles within society. Gender stereotypes and societal pressures of conformity heavily influences linguistic behaviour of different genders; leading to the generalisation where ‘women like silent men. They think they’re listening’ (Michael Achard). The further division between language choices between

It was modeled after the Clinical Dementia Rating Scale. There are 3 portions of the PASS: (a) informant questionnaire; (b) interviews; and (c) comprehensive language assessment. Informant questionnaire is designed for the examiner to ask general questions associated with all domains, excluding repetition. If the examinee indicates
