Learning Disabilities

290
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.

Language and Cognition

473
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.

Higher Mental Functions of the Brain: Language

1.3K
Language is a system of communication that allows the expression of thoughts, ideas, and feelings. The brain processes language in both hemispheres.
Language formation and comprehension take place in the dominant hemisphere. The dominant hemisphere is responsible for understanding the meaning of spoken, written, or sign language, as well as the ability to communicate. For most people, the left hemisphere is the dominant one. The right hemisphere, then, gives tone and emotional context to the...

Language Development

485
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...

Impression Management Techniques IV: Altercasting

5
Altercasting is a strategic communication technique in which an individual imposes a specific identity or social role onto another person to influence their behavior and shape the interaction. By presuming a role—such as “responsible leader” or “patient person”—altercasting encourages the target to conform to that identity, often aligning their behavior with the expectations associated with the role. The power of this tactic lies in its subtlety; once a role...

Information Processing Approach01:30

Information Processing Approach

183
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...

Area of Science:

  • Linguistics
  • Speech and Language Pathology
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Multilingual individuals using augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) frequently encounter situations requiring code-switching.
  • Existing AAC systems are increasingly multilingual, yet research on code-switching within AAC is limited.
  • Code-switching is essential for effective communication for multilingual AAC users across diverse contexts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss theoretical and practical implications for research on code-switching in aided AAC.
  • To establish a foundation for future research by examining existing literature on code-switching in spoken and signed languages.
  • To identify research gaps and propose future directions for studying code-switching in aided AAC.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of sociolinguistic, psycholinguistic, and usage-based aspects of code-switching.
  • Analysis of code-switching in spoken and signed language modalities.
  • Examination of aided AAC modalities for code-switching expression.

Main Results:

  • Code-switching is a complex linguistic behavior necessary for multilingual AAC users.
  • Theoretical frameworks for spoken/signed code-switching can inform aided AAC research.
  • Varied expressions of code-switching exist across different aided AAC systems.

Conclusions:

  • Further research is crucial to understand and support code-switching in aided AAC.
  • Developing effective multilingual AAC requires a deeper understanding of users' code-switching practices.
  • Future research should focus on practical applications and theoretical advancements in aided AAC code-switching.
