U2 - 4 Cognition

U2 - 4 Cognition

1. Knowing / inner process

2. Innate capacity

   • Monolingual Infant
     • Infants distinguish NL & NN
     • Discriminate phoneme contrast up to 10 months
   • memory
     • neural representations
       • familiar language
         • attend relevant
         • ignore nonrelevant
   • Production
     • Monolingual
       • Babbling drift to NL ~10-12 mths
     • Bilingual
       • babbling depends on person
     • both similar babbling

3. SUP model

   • L1 & L2 develope independently
   • 2 balloons
     • L2 balloon fills
     • L1 disappears

4. CUP model

   • L1 & L2 in 1 balloon
   • 1 fosters development of 2
   • motivation exposure
   • interdependent
   • Ice berg
     • separate surface
     • together underneath

5. Clinical Relevance

   • substractive environ.
     • limited L1 learning
       • lower cog./ academic proficiency in both L1/L2
   • additive environ.
     • enriched L1
       • Higher L1/L2 cog./ academic proficiency
         • more metalinguistic awareness
