Language01:16

Language

900
Language is a unique communication system that uses words and systematic rules to organize and transmit information. Unlike other forms of communication, which may involve postures, movements, odors, or vocalizations, language relies on symbols and grammar. This makes human communication distinct from that of other species, who also communicate but do not use language in the same way humans do.
Corballis and Suddendorf (2007) and Tomasello and Rakoczy (2003) highlight the role of language in...

Components of Language01:24

Components of Language

809
Language, whether spoken, signed, or written, consists of specific components: lexicon and grammar. The lexicon is the vocabulary of a language, comprising its words. Grammar is the set of rules used to convey meaning through the lexicon. For example, English grammar adds “-ed” to most verbs to indicate past tense. Words are formed by combining phonemes, which are the basic sound units of a language. Different languages have different sets of phonemes (e.g., “ah” vs.

Language Development01:22

Language Development

880
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...

Language and Cognition01:27

Language and Cognition

750
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.

Introduction to Developmental Psychology

1.5K
Developmental psychology explores the changes and continuities in human abilities throughout life, encompassing physical, cognitive, linguistic, and social dimensions. Human development is not restricted to growth, but includes aspects of decline, particularly in physical abilities as individuals age. Developmental psychologists seek to understand how people change as they age and how their mental and social skills evolve.Developmental MilestonesA key concept in developmental psychology is...

Three Developmental Domains01:29

Three Developmental Domains

1.1K
Human development is typically examined across three main domains: physical, cognitive, and socio-emotional. These domains represent the significant areas of change and continuity throughout the lifespan, from infancy to late adulthood.
Physical Development
Physical processes, also known as maturation, encompass the biological changes that occur across an individual's life. These changes begin with genetic inheritance and continue through various stages, including growth in height and weight,...

Area of Science:

  • Child development
  • Linguistics
  • Clinical psychology

Background:

  • Developmental language disorder (DLD) impacts children's social and academic success.
  • DLD is characterized by low language performance despite normal overall development.
  • This is the first study to investigate DLD in the Vietnamese population.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Identify cases of DLD in Vietnam.
  • Explore language-specific characteristics of DLD in Vietnamese children.
  • Establish reliable indicators for DLD risk assessment.

Main Methods:

  • Recruited 1,250 kindergarteners in Hanoi, Vietnam, based on teacher ratings.
  • Administered direct language measures (vocabulary, language sampling) to 104 children.
  • Utilized parent surveys and analyzed convergence across multiple assessment measures.

Main Results:

  • Positive associations found between teacher/parent reports and direct language measures.
  • Identified three groups: DLD, some risk for DLD, and no risk.
  • Children with DLD showed lower performance in vocabulary, utterance length, and grammaticality.

Conclusions:

  • Approximately 7% of Vietnamese kindergarteners are at risk for DLD, consistent with global rates.
  • Parent and teacher reports, combined with multiple language measures, are vital for accurate DLD identification.
  • The study identified potential clinical markers for DLD in Vietnamese and suggested future research directions.
