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...

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.

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.

Piaget's Stage 1 of Cognitive Development

Piaget's Stage 1 of Cognitive Development

The sensorimotor stage, the initial phase of Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development, spans the first two years of a child's life. During this period, infants actively engage with their surroundings, building cognitive awareness through direct interaction with the world. This interaction is primarily based on sensory perception and motor actions, allowing infants to gradually understand basic physical properties and predict how objects interact within their environment.

Conduct Disorder

Conduct Disorder

Conduct disorder is a complex mental health diagnosis characterized by a repetitive and persistent pattern of behavior that violates societal norms, the rights of others, or age-appropriate rules. The diagnostic criteria for conduct disorder require the presence of at least three problematic behaviors within the past 12 months, with at least one occurring in the past six months. These behaviors are grouped into four categories: aggression toward people and animals; destruction of property;...

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.
Dyslexia

Summary

Maternal gatekeeping and overprotectiveness are significantly higher in children with developmental language disorder (DLD). These parenting practices are linked to DLD, highlighting the need for supportive interventions.

Area of Science:

Child Development
Linguistics
Psychology

Background:

Previous research suggests a link between maternal overload and altered parenting.
This study explores maternal gatekeeping and overprotectiveness in children with developmental language disorder (DLD).

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate maternal gatekeeping and overprotectiveness in children diagnosed with DLD compared to typically language-developing (TLD) children.
To identify factors associated with maternal gatekeeping in DLD.

Main Methods:

Included 45 children with DLD and 46 TLD children.
Assessed maternal gatekeeping and overprotectiveness using the Maternal Gatekeeping Scale (MGS) and Parent Attitude Scale (PAS).
Evaluated language abilities (TELD-3), developmental status (DDST-II), and hearing functions.

Main Results:

Children with DLD exhibited significantly higher PAS-overprotection and MGS scores than TLD children.
DLD diagnosis, PAS-overprotection, and family income were significantly associated with MGS scores.
Overprotectiveness partially mediated the relationship between DLD diagnosis and maternal gatekeeping.

Conclusions:

Maternal gatekeeping is associated with DLD and maternal overprotectiveness.
Findings emphasize evaluating parenting practices and promoting independence in children with DLD.
