  False
• Order the environmental and biological factors from most immediate to most indirect impact on language development.

  1️⃣ Hearing Ability

  2️⃣ Brain Development

  3️⃣ Genetics

  4️⃣ Parental Input

• What does language development in children (0-11 years) refer to?

  Acquiring language skills
• In the two-word stage (18-24 months), children combine two words to form simple phrases
• Match the environmental factor with its impact on language development:

  Parental Input ↔️ Responsive communication develops vocabulary

  Socioeconomic Status ↔️ Less exposure leads to slower growth

  Bilingual Environment ↔️ Enriches linguistic abilities

  Access to Books ↔️ Promotes comprehension and literacy
• Certain genetic predispositions can lead to specific language impairment
• Which brain hemisphere is crucial for language skills?

  Left hemisphere
• What is the role of brain development in language acquisition?

  Maturation of language centers
• Fine motor skills are essential for clear articulation.


  True
• At what age do children typically enter the one-word stage?

  12-18 months
• What is the role of parental input in language development?

  Vocabulary and grammar development
• Environmental factors can either support or hinder language development stages.

  True
• What role do cultural norms play in language development?

  Shape language input quality
• Constructive feedback from teachers helps refine grammatical accuracy.
• Exposure to diverse texts expands children's vocabulary and comprehension


  True
• What are two key impacts of peer interactions on language development?

  Vocabulary and pragmatic skills
• Steps in the development of pragmatic abilities through peer interactions

  1️⃣ Practice language skills

  2️⃣ Learn new vocabulary

  3️⃣ Develop turn-taking skills

  4️⃣ Improve conversational abilities
• What is the primary communication method during the prelinguistic stage?

  Crying and babbling
• In the telegraphic stage, children's speech becomes more grammatically complex
• How does parental input influence language development?

  By providing language exposure
• Match the environmental factor with its impact on language development:

  Parental Input ↔️ Responsive communication

  Socioeconomic Status ↔️ Less language exposure

  Bilingual Environment ↔️ Enriched linguistic abilities

  Access to Books ↔️ Improved comprehension
• Biological factors interact with environmental elements to shape language development


  True
• Cultural norms and expectations influence language use and communication
• How does socioeconomic status impact language development?

  Less exposure to language
• Order the stages of language development.

  1️⃣ Prelinguistic

  2️⃣ One-word

  3️⃣ Two-word

  4️⃣ Telegraphic

  5️⃣ Grammatical
• What pragmatic abilities do peer interactions help develop?

  Turn-taking and conversational skills
• Overreliance on technology may hinder the development of natural language skills
• In the prelinguistic stage (0-1 year), babies communicate through crying, cooing, and babbling
• What type of speech characterizes the telegraphic stage (2-3 years)?

  Short, simple sentences
• The quantity and quality of language exposure from parents is called parental
• Mild hearing impairments can hinder early language development.

  True
• At what age do children typically begin to produce their first single-word utterances?

  12-18 months
• Biological factors interact with environmental influences to shape language development.
• Genetic disorders like specific language impairment can affect a child's ability to acquire language.
• Stages of language development in children (0-11 years)

  1️⃣ Prelinguistic

  2️⃣ One-word

  3️⃣ Two-word

  4️⃣ Telegraphic

  5️⃣ Grammatical
• Telegraphic speech includes function words like 'the' and 'and'.

  False
• Children from lower-income families may experience slower vocabulary growth due to less language exposure.
• How does brain maturation contribute to language acquisition?

  Develops language centers
