Language and Cognition01:27

Language and Cognition

442
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.

Language Development01:22

Language Development

450
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...

Modeling in Therapy01:26

Modeling in Therapy

149
Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.

Lateralization01:28

Lateralization

493
Brain lateralization refers to the division of mental processes and functions between the two hemispheres of the brain, a phenomenon that optimizes neural efficiency and underpins complex abilities in humans. This specialization allows each hemisphere to perform tasks where it has a comparative advantage, facilitating more refined cognitive capabilities across different domains.

Higher Mental Functions of the Brain: Language

1.0K
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...

Techniques of Therapeutic Communication II: Focusing, Paraphrasing, and Summarizing

9.1K
Focusing involves centering a conversation on a message's critical elements or concepts. Focusing is valuable if the talk is vague or patients begin to repeat themselves. Sometimes, when patients are asked about their symptoms, they may go off-topic and try to tell their entire life story. Respectfully, the nurse should bring the conversation back into focus.
This therapeutic technique can also be used when a patient brings up pertinent information during a health-related conversation. The...

Summary

Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) serving bilingual children often lack resources. Findings highlight the need for more bilingual SLPs, training, and multilingual materials to support clients in both languages.

Area of Science:

  • Speech-language pathology
  • Bilingualism in children
  • Communication disorders

Background:

  • Clinical guidelines recommend supporting bilingual children in both languages.
  • A significant shortage of bilingual speech-language pathologists (SLPs) exists in the US.
  • Understanding current SLP practices with bilingual clients is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the language practices of SLPs during intervention with bilingual children.
  • To identify the resources needed to improve services for bilingual children with communication disorders.

Main Methods:

  • Convergent mixed-methods study combining surveys and semi-structured interviews.
  • Purposive sampling for interviews based on survey responses.
  • Quantitative and qualitative data analyzed concurrently.

Main Results:

  • Only 21.5% of bilingual clients received intervention in both languages.
  • SLPs fluent in both client languages were more likely to provide dual-language services and use code-switching.
  • SLPs employed creative strategies to overcome language barriers; common needs identified were more bilingual providers, training, multilingual materials, and interpreters.

Conclusions:

  • SLP practices vary by linguistic background, but needs for resources are consistent.
  • Findings offer insights into serving bilingual clients and highlight resource gaps.
  • Recommendations for state-level advocacy, training, and resource allocation are suggested.
