CPSY 4343 Lecture Notes - Lecture 9: Phonological Development, Cardinality, Order Type
Document Summary
What is language: phonological development: the acquisition of knowledge about the sounds systems of one"s own language, semantic development: learning to express meaning in language (e. g. world learning) The average adult knows about 30,000 words. The average 6-year-old knows about 10,000 words. Learn to learn words (lecture: early word learning. Names for objects (in the u. s. in english) Dimensional adjectives (big, little, more, less: 30 months + Number words and counting: 24 months, conservation and counting- young children can conserve up to the numbers they can count (gelman, Estimators- the need to determine accurate numerosity in the first place. After children can accurately count up to about 10, they seem to make an inductive leap (an inference) that operations that change small numbers also change larger ones: counting principles . Cardinality- the last # is the amount in the set.
