  1. Jean Piaget’s Language Development Theory (:

  2. Language development is relative to cognitive development – development of a child’s thinking determines when and what the child can speak. i.e. “This car is bigger than that car.” Child must have developed the ability to differentiate size  Children learn to talk “naturally” when they are “ready” without deliberate teaching by adults

  3. Four stages • Sensori Motor (birth – 2 years old) • Differentiates self from objects • Begins to act intentionally • Begins to realize that there are objects that are not seen or visible to them.

  4. Pre- Operational (2-7 Years old) • Learns to use language to represent objects by image and words • Egocentric • Classifies objects by single features

  5. Concrete Operational (7-11) • Thinks logically about objects and events • Has a sense of numbers • Classifies objects according to features and can order them in series along a single dimension such as size

  6. Formal Operational (11 and up) • Thinks logically about abstract propositions and tests hypotheses systematically. • Becomes concerned with future, ideological problems.

  7. Challenges • Two pieces of evidence that refute: • One – development does not always progress in the smooth manner the theory seems to predict ‘decalage’ . • Two – They are domain general, cognitive maturation occurs concurrently across different domains of knowledge
