Definition
"rich get richer, poor get poorer"
-children who are initially good readers improve at faster rate than children who are initially poor readers
-due to interaction between phonological skills and word recognition
-children w/poor phonological skills will recognize less words and will learn slower, which in turn is goin to slow down acquisition of new words and yield slower reading |

Term
|
Definition
reading failure despite normal IQ and support associated with deficits in lang. processing
Hallmark: difficulty w/phonological processing
-particular difficulty w/reading fake words |

Definition
1) HOME - family literacy (shared reading, richness in vocab)
2)SES affects in reading (vocab and exposure at home)
3) school - teacher quality, curriculum, classroom, vocab |

Term
|
Definition
| humans must be exposed to language during a specific maturational state in order for language to be full acquired |
|
|
Term
| whole language in reading |
|
Definition
reading for meaning
children should learn like oral language
develop large vocab
if you don't know word - look at sentence for meaning |
|

sound it out
develops rapidly
*receives most support |

Evidence for Critical Period:
First Sign Language Acquistion |
|
Definition
| exposed from birth do better than children at latter age |
|
|
Term
| Critical period in second language acquitions |
|
Definition
| after 16: the window is closed to age and language correlation |
|

Definition
same as native
earlier age of leanring, better performance
no relationship between age and performance |

Term
| 3 explanations why children learn better than adults |
|
Definition
language is special
its not special, capability to learn it changes w/age "less is more"
children and adults occupy different environments |
|
|
Term
| Language is Special Explanation |
|
Definition
knowledge is inact early in life, then deteriotates with maturation
-later age of acquisition - less ability to rely on innate knowledge
-time locked to puberty, but now new evidence suggests that < 5 years of age |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
language learning declines with AoA b/c cognitive abilities increase
-children's limited processing capacity leads them to learn only component parts of linguistic input. adults large processing capacity leads them to learn whole complex stimulus |
|
|
Term
| Input Driven and Social Explanations |
|
Definition
young receive richer L2 input than older children and than adults
cultural ID plays role on L2 acquisition
motivation, self-consciousness also play a role in L2 acquisition |
|
|
Term
| Is there a CP for lang learning |
|
Definition
-original notions localized windown between birth and puberty
-L2 acquisition do not really show a clearly-bounded window |
