Language and Cognition

Language and Cognition

Language serves as a bridge between ideas and communication, influencing how individuals perceive and interact with the world. Psychologists have long debated whether language shapes thought or vice versa. This discussion gained grip with Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf in the 1940s, who proposed that language determines thought, a concept known as linguistic determinism. They suggested that the vocabulary and structure of a language influence how its speakers think and perceive reality.

Learning Disabilities

Learning Disabilities

Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.

Social Foundations of Self II: The Generalized Other

Social Foundations of Self II: The Generalized Other

According to George Herbert Mead, as children progress beyond the game stage, they develop a more comprehensive understanding of societal rules and norms. This cognitive and social development enables them to internalize the expectations of the broader community, refining their ability to regulate behavior.Consistent participation in organized activities is crucial in helping children recognize that their actions are not isolated but contribute to a more significant, interconnected group...

Language Development

Language Development

Children master language quickly and with relative ease, supported by both biological predisposition and reinforcement. B. F. Skinner (1957) proposed that language is learned through reinforcement, while Noam Chomsky (1965) argued that language acquisition mechanisms are biologically determined.
The critical period for language acquisition suggests that the ability to acquire language is at its peak early in life. As people age, this proficiency decreases. Language development begins very...

Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction alongside restrictive and repetitive behaviors or interests. ASD is sometimes accompanied by intellectual impairment.
These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.

Information Processing Approach

Information Processing Approach

The information-processing theory of cognitive development centers on fundamental mental processes, including attention, memory, and problem-solving skills. Researchers in this field examine how cognitive abilities, such as working memory, evolve and influence children's overall development. Studies indicate that children with stronger working memory tend to excel in reading comprehension, math, and problem-solving compared to peers with less efficient memory skills. Low working memory is...

Conflict resolution abilities in children with Specific Language Impairment.

|January 11, 2014

Summary

Children with Specific Language Impairment (SLI) struggle with conflict resolution, primarily using less effective strategies. The duration of speech-language therapy did not correlate with their problem-solving performance.

Background:

Specific Language Impairment (SLI) affects language development and may impact social-cognitive skills.
Conflict resolution is a crucial social skill that relies on effective communication and problem-solving.

Purpose of the Study:

To compare conflict resolution abilities in children with SLI versus typically developing peers.
To determine if the length of speech-language therapy correlates with conflict resolution performance in children with SLI.

Main Methods:

Twenty children with SLI and 40 typically developing children (ages 7-8 years 11 months) participated.
Conflict resolution skills were assessed using five hypothetical conflict scenarios.
Strategies were categorized into levels: no match, physical, unilateral, cooperative, and mutual solutions.

Main Results:

Children with SLI demonstrated significantly lower overall conflict resolution scores compared to the control group.
The SLI group predominantly used physical and unilateral strategies.
No significant correlation was found between the duration of speech-language therapy and conflict resolution scores.

Conclusions:

Children with SLI exhibit challenges in conflict resolution, favoring less adaptive strategies.
The extent of speech-language therapy received does not appear to influence their performance on this specific conflict resolution task.
