Module Code: 7PS501 Student ID: 100312804 A Task Analysis of the Cognitive Processes and Psychological Constructs Underpinning the Consecutive Use of Makaton Vocabulary Signs with Speech as a Communication Aid. Sign-language (SL) is a visual-gestural modality of linguistic communication predominantly used by those with or close to hearing or speech impediments. In deaf communities SL's, such as British Sign Language (BSL), are considered to be independent 'natural languages', sharing the same linguistic complexities as any spoken language. However, the use of signs or gestures used consecutively with spoken language serve a different purpose from that of SL, instead providing additional information to strengthen the communication outcome. Makaton Vocabulary (MV) uses signs/gestures and symbols as an aid to verbal communication (Walker, 1972).
Language Development Theories Graphic Organizer Tia Lazarus EDD 557 Paula Rogers University of Phoenix October 5th, 2015 There are three theories of language learning that have been laid out by language theorists: The Environmentalist Theory spear-headed by Skinner, The Constructivist Theory purported by Melissa Bowerman (Vygotsky, Piaget), and The Nativist Theory put forward by Noam Chomsky and Slobin. While each one is different in it’s approach, they also have similarities. Below is a color coded matrix to explain the theories as well as the similarities and differences between each theory: | Environmentalist | Constructivist | Nativist | Environmentalist | * The caregiver plays the most important role in language development. * The child learns language by imitation, reinforcement, and conditioning. * How much language the child knows is determined by the amount and quality of language s/he is exposed to.
Language Carla M. Van Pelt University of Phoenix Psychology 360 March 5, 2014 Language Language is how we communicate through knowledge, behavior, and belief can be shared, explained, and experienced. Sharing is based on a conventional and systematic use of signs, gestures, sounds, or marks that have an understood meaning within a community, group, or culture. This paper will briefly explore, language, and lexicon, the key features of language, the four levels of language, and how language is cognitively processed. Language and Lexicon Language. Language can be defined as communication of thoughts and feelings through a system of arbitrary signals, such as voice sounds, or written symbols.
The definition of language: “the means of human communication, consisting of the use of spoken or written words in a structure way.” Oxford English Dictionary (2006, pp.423) When looking at language in the wider sense of the word it relates to any means of communication a person may use to enable them to get their message across, this could be based on visual as well as audio for example sign language, body language and/or written. Language is adaptable; the type of language and the way in which we use it generally varies depending on our surroundings, our environment and who we may be communicating that language to. Power is very often usually demonstrated and achieved through language; people often use this power in the way they communicate to enable the receiver to understand quite clearly the power relationship between the two, for example the way in which a teacher would speak to their pupils would illustrate the power of responsibility the teacher has other them. The New Fontana Dictionary of Modern Thought (1999) describes power as; “The ability of its holders to exact compliance or obedience of other individuals to their will” This suggests that the persons in possession of the power is in some way in a position to exert the dominance of their ideas and as a response is then able to coerce the others involved to obey and then respond. The idea of ‘will’ which relates to the persons on the receiving end who often finds themselves in the opposite position or finds themselves in a position where they feel that they may not have much choice in the matter, signifies the role of power.
