Talk to Your Babies!
The rate of children’s vocabulary development is influenced by the amount of talk they are exposed to.
The more speech that is addressed to a toddler, the more rapidly the toddler will learn new words!Slide10
Word Comprehension
Fast Mapping
is the process of rapidly learning a new word simply from the contrastive use of a familiar word and an unfamiliar word
The children’s ability to connect new words to familiar words so rapidly that they cannot be considering all possible meaning for the new wordSlide11
Example of Fast Mapping
In a preschool classroom, an experimenter drew a child’s attention to two blocks – asking the child to “get the celadon block not the blue one”
From this simple contrast, the child inferred that the name of the color of the requested object was “celadon”
After a single exposure to this novel word, about half the children showed some knowledge of it a week later by correctly picking the celadon color
