Critical Relational Frames
All relational frames are important for children to develop language acquisition as well as for them to understand their environment, but others are a little more important because they deal with the child’s ability to gain his/her own perspective of life as well as self-awareness as a result authors Novak and Pelaez state, “The three frames that have been identified as the most important in this regard are the frames of “I and you”, “here and there” and “now and then” (Novak & Pelaez, 2004, p. 309). These frames are different and are developed from caregivers that offer children extensive examples in the form of language; for example the caregiver would say “what are you looking at “while focusing their gaze on …show more content…

It states that equivalence is achieved through the learner being exposed to reinforcements of language and a verbal community. Different researchers have come up with different ways to discriminate their procedures therefore the results vary. One such arbitrarily example is when a child learns to name objects and events in their world they are relational responding this according to behaviorist is a stimulus that can be link to many stimuli (Barnes-Holmes , Barnes-Holmes , Smeets , Cullinan, & Leader , 2004). It is important to note that equivalence stimuli is an empirical occurrence and RFT is the theory of how that occurrence came about; therefore they are different in many ways but can work together to derive results that can help researchers learn about the …show more content…

I learn many new strategies that can be used to help infants and toddlers increase their language acquisition. I learned that language is there since a child is born; for example if a child cries this is a form of language and a way for the child to communicate its needs to the parent. It helped me see the importance of parent talking and expanding their children vocabulary through positive reinforcements. I see relational frame theory as an extension of B.F. Skinner work on operant conditioning yet different because it uses language as a way to extend learning.
Conclusion
Language is important but one needs to know that there is more to language than sounds and words. In the first place, equivalence stimulus is important to be able to see the reaction that both stimulus are different but react the same towards each other and RFT gathers all these in an umbrella that reinforces language and

What I learned was the Power of Language video taught that with dual learners, you should incorporate some of their language throughout the day. Talking to infants and toddlers can help them to develop and build a strong foundation for literacy. The 5 interactions for response is tune in: pay attention to the child. Facial expressions: get down eye to eye to the child’s level, and smile. Touch: could be a hug, rub on their back, or sitting in your lap, Gesture: hugging, smiling

How can you use this information with children? Scenario 1: The child is trying to communicate while craning her/his neck to look up at the parent, towering above the child, looks down at the child while she/he speaks. This is the experience young children have all too commonly. I have realized that this situation does not encourage meaningful conversation, which is the basis for speech and language development. The child felt rejected, worthless and withdrawn.

Children learn new things through everyday life experience. Especially, young children who attend to the program of day-care or preschool can develop speaking skills while they play and interact with peers and teachers, such as free play time, teacher-directed activities, and having snack and lunch together. According to Janice J. Beaty (2014), “spoken language is one of the important skills” (p. 197) and a child’s language acquisition begins at birth and progress through everyday life: young children go through the four stages, Preproduction (just listen) Transition to Production (response with single-word answers), Early Production (speak short phrases, do chat, sing, and have a simple conversation), Expansion of Production (speak expanded

For example in the video, it states that “ Early acquisition of a language provides the foundation for cognitive growth, the thinking and learning skills children need throughout their lives. Through cognition children can engage in more complex actions and think more abstractly. Early Language is a critical aspect in this process.” (Through Your Child’s Eyes: ASL. 3:50-4:10). Educating children and younger kids, sign language is extremely helpful to improving and developing these language skills early.

Indeed, storytelling is also a good way to help infant language development; baby Bink keeps saying a reduplicated word –“Boo-Boo”, which is the name of the character in his favorite story book. According to our lecture’s notes, infant during their 6-10 months can babble reduplicated words, and they usually can say their first words during the 9 months of age (chapter

The Behaviourist theory states that ‘through repetition and reinforcement’ (Khan Academy, 2017) this is how children gain language development. For example, tying their shoelaces or counting. Key theorist ‘B.F. Skinner’ (Swinburne Online, 2017) is responsible for this language theory perspective. The main ways the theory says children learn this through their behaviour from a baby. In addition, ‘language arises from stimuli and stimuli response’ (Khan Academy, 2017) as they become a little older (Khan Academy, 2017).

The interactionist perspective, which suggests that “language development is produced through a combination of genetically determined predispositions and environmental circumstances”, could also explain why infants exposed to a physical person speaking a different language to them were able to learn it, compared to infants who were not in the same setting (Feldman, 2015, p 129). Another concept from class that I noticed Patricia using in her research and described in her TED talk was the learning theory approach. The learning theory approach is “the theory that language acquisition follows the basic laws of reinforcement and conditioning” (Feldman, 2015, p 128). In the TED talk, a video is shown of a panda popping out of a lit up box while drumming. Patricia later explains that the box did this when an infant would respond to changes in the phonemes “ah” and “e”.

Nonetheless, Nic is able to complete all the tasks in this section mainly because of he need to use it often. Kathy Hirsh-Pasek, Robert Golinkoff and Justin Harris (Harris, Golinkoff, & Hirsh Pasek, 2011) emphasize the key principles in young children’s language development. Based of the principle, children learn the words and concepts they hear and use most often. This principle explains the reason why Nic is able to complete all the tasks given to him easily. Moreover, throughout the interaction with Nic, I realized that he is able to learn a new concept easily if I taught him the concept through stories.

I found this article interesting because of the way that she started her research. She is originally a surgeon who was responsible for giving children the ability to hear with cochlear implants. While doing this research, she noticed how much of a difference language was for kids who's parents talked to them more. She stated that the children who had

Newborns communicate with hand gestures and sounds. With toddlers, they gain social skills and can move on to communicating with words and sentences. Supporting language development with a child can be done by having conversations with them and allowing them enough time after to process what you said and get a reply. In the video Bottomless Boxes, I noticed that the children were having a conversation with each other. The children were interacting with each other and showed one another how to climb through the boxes.

The questionable and ambiguous nature surrounding the notion that children play an active role in acquiring language has been debated by many theorists of different perspectives. These three perspectives include the learning view, the nativist view and the interactionist view. In this essay I will discuss each perspective with reference to psychological theories and research that relates to each view. The learning perspective of language acquisition suggests that children acquire language through imitation and reinforcement (Skinner, 1957). The ideology behind this view claims that children develop language by repeating utterances that have been praised by their parent, therefore gaining a larger vocabulary and understanding of phrases over

Language development is a critical part of a child’s overall development. Language encourages and supports a child’s ability to communicate. Through language, a child is able to understand and define his or her’s feelings and emotions. It also introduces the steps to thinking critically as well as problem-solving, building and maintaining relationships. Learning a language from a social perspective is important because it gives the child the opportunity to interact with others and the environment.

Crain and Lillo-Martin state that “language is not a concrete set of things out in the world that we can point out to or measure rather; it is something inside our brains and minds”. The LAD in a child’s mind will eventually help the child to make sense of the language that develops through social interactions and experience. The LAD within the child’s brain makes it easy for them to understand the language. This claim is in coherence with Bruner (1957) who claims that, “Children are not little grammarians, motivated to decode the syntax of the language around them through the operation of their LAD, but social beings who acquire language in the service of their needs to communicate with others”. I second this statement because I believe that the acquisition of language is innate but the development of the language is parallel with what the child’ experiences and social interaction with their family, school, society.

The guardian or the parents will reinforce the students and give them punishment so the children or the students will develop themselves. Interactionist Theory . Interactionists argue that language development is both biological and social. Interactionists argue that language learning is influenced by the desire of children to communicate with others. The Interactionists argue that "children are born with a powerful brain that matures slowly and predisposes them to acquire new understandings that they are motivated to share with others" ( Bates,1993;Tomasello,1995, as cited in shaffer,et al.,2002,p.362).
