1The study of language is divided into the following components:
- APhonology, lexicon, syntax and morphology, and communicative competence.
- BNativism, behaviorism, constructivism, and connectionism.
- CDiary studies, normative studies, longitudinal studies and cross-linguistic studies.
2One of the major disagreements in the field of language development focuses on whether:
- AThe mechanisms that underlie language acquisition are specific to humans or to other animal species as well.
- BLanguage is innate or learned in the environment.
- CLanguage and development are/are not shaped by the social context.
3Videotape or audiotape records of speech samples are used to:
- AExamine a child's social behavior in natural settings such as meal time or toy play.
- BExamine how many errors children produce in their speech.
- CCollect a representative database of the child's language to examine specific questions about language acquisition.
4What is syntax?
- AA system that tells speakers how to order words in sentences.
- BSounds and sounds patterns.
- CWords and meanings.
5The lexicon is:
- AThe transmittal of info to others in socially appropriate ways.
- BThe sound system of of language.
- CThe way words are combined into sentences.
6What is phonology?
- AWords and meanings.
- BSounds and sound patterns.
- CGrammar.
7A child learns to add -ing and -ed to words grammatically, producing sentence like "Yesterday I baked" and "Today, i am walking to school." He has learned aspects of:
- ASyntax
- BPhonology
- CMorphology
8Communicative competence refers to the ability to:
- AUse the appropriate sounds and words of a language and produce grammatical sentences.
- BUse language appropriately to communicate in different contexts.
- CSpeak more than one language.
9Aphasia is:
- AA total loss of the ability to speak.
- BEvidence of the language learning capacity.
- CAn impairment of language due to brain injury.
10Dichotic listening experiments examined adults and found that there is:
- AA right-ear advantage for speech stimuli
- BA right-ear advantage for adult users of language (both for speech and non-speech sounds)
- CA left-ear advantage for adult users of language.
11Research on functions of the left hemisphere demonstrates that:
- AAnalytical processing is primarily a function of the left hemisphere.
- BLanguage processing is primarily a function of the left hemisphere.
- CBoth (b) and (c) are correct.
12Neural plasticity is:
- AThe ability of the brain to become more flexible with age.
- BAlso called lateralization
- CThe ability of parts of their brain to make over functions that they would normally not serve.
13People with Broca's aphasia tend to:
- AProduce speech that does not make sense.
- BProduce speech that is not fluent and not grammatical.
- CProduce speech that is extremely expressive and displays many adjectives.
14According to the critical period hypothesis:
- AChildren can acquire language in a typical way even if they ar not exposed to it until adolescence.
- BChildren can acquire language in a typical way only if they hear it enough.
- CChildren can acquire language in a typical way only if they are exposed to it before adolescence.
15Evidence from second language acquisition studies suggests that:
- AIt is not the amount of time spent in a new country but the age of arrival to that country that determines how well a person learns a second language.
- BIt is not the age of the arrival to a new country but the amount of time spent in that country that determines how well a person learns a second language.
- CAnyone can learn a second language well at any age.
16Genie was:
- AA child who was neglected and not cared by until she was found at the age of 13.
- BA child who did not learn how to speak because she was not spoken to during her first 13 years.
- CA child who never acquired language fully because she was not exposed to it until puberty.
- DAll of the above.
17The high amplitude sucking technique:
- AA device that measures infants sucking rate.
- BUsed to examine what sounds infants can hear in the early months of life.
- CA type of experiment used in the field of infant speech perception.
- DAll of the answers are true.
18At birth:
- ABabies can hear all the sounds of the word's languages.
- BInfants can only distinguish easy-to-hear sounds as they are still developing their hearing.
- CInfants can only hear only the sounds of the language they have been hearing while in the womb.
19Babies start to coo:
- AAt birth
- BAround 6 weeks
- CAt 6 months
- DAt 12 months
20Babies start to babble:
- AAt birth
- BAround 6 weeks
- CAt 6 months
- DAt 12 months
21Children produce phonological processes:
- AFrom birth.
- BStarting from 6 months of age.
- CBetween 18 months and 4 years.
22As put by Patricia Kuhl, children learn language by statistical learning. This means that:
- AChildren imitate what they hear, even sounds and patterns only heard once.
- BChildren's brain keeps track of how often certain sounds/patterns occur in the input.
- CChildren learn the sounds and patterns that are frequent in their language but not those that rarely occur.
- DBoth (b) and (c) are true.
23Patricia Khul argues that babies stop being "universal listeners" around 7.5 months. This means that by this age:
- ABabies become better at hearing the sounds of their language but worse at discriminating sounds in other languages.
- BBabies become better at perceiving the sounds of all languages.
- CInfants listens attentively to all sounds, language and non-language related.
24Besides age, what are other important factors in language learning according to Patricia Kuhl?
- AMotherese- this helps babies hear clean, slowed-down examples of sounds and words.
- BSocial interaction- the baby's brain engages in statistical learning only if the baby is involved in meaningful interaction with others.
- CMedia- hearing of watching videos of positive child-adult interaction.
- DBoth (a) and (b) are correct.
