Language Development

638
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...

Surveys02:16

Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Language and Cognition

556
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.

Naturalistic Observations

If you want to understand how behavior occurs, one of the best ways to gain information is to simply observe the behavior in its natural context. However, people might change their behavior in unexpected ways if they know they are being observed. How do researchers obtain accurate information when people tend to hide their natural behavior? As an example, imagine that your professor asks everyone in your class to raise their hand if they always wash their hands after using the restroom. Chances...

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...

Area of Science:

  • Linguistics
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Sociolinguistics

Background:

  • Understanding how language variation influences perceptions of children's narrative quality is crucial.
  • Identifying adult language ideologies regarding dialectal differences is essential for equitable assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the impact of language variation on ratings of children's narrative language.
  • To identify participants' ideologies related to narrative language and language variation.

Main Methods:

  • A mixed-methods approach was employed, involving 40 adult raters.
  • Adults rated 12 narratives from six Black second-grade children (six fictional, six personal).
  • Quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews were conducted to assess rater perceptions and ideologies.

Main Results:

  • Adults rated narratives with less variation from Mainstream American English (MAE) higher for fictional stories.
  • Personal narratives were rated more favorably by parents than teachers.
  • Black raters assigned higher narrative quality ratings than White raters.

Conclusions:

  • Adult raters demonstrated a shared language ideology, deeming variation from MAE more acceptable in informal (personal) than formal (fictional) contexts.
  • Qualitative findings supported quantitative results, offering insights into rater beliefs about language variation.
