What is Aphasia?

loss of ability to understand or express speech, caused by brain damage.

• Aphasia is a disorder that results from damage to portions of the brain that are responsible for language.

• For most people, these areas are on the left side of the brain.

• The disorder impairs the expression and understanding of language as well as reading and writing. Aphasia may co-occur with speech disorders, such as dysarthria or apraxia of speech, which also result from brain damage.

Acculturation is the transfer of values and customs from one group to another while Assimilation is the cultural absorption of a minority group into the main cultural body.
Acculturation: learning about new culture, but still keeping old culture; practicing both
Assimilation: more extreme absorption into the dominant culture; forget about other culture

Negative transfer/language interference:

• Take a structure you have in native language and transfer it to second language, but those structures don't exist

• EX: using structure of native language (Serbian) and transferring it to english, the grammatical structures don't match up

What is positive transfer? (multicultural)

Positive transfer: "Bootstrapping"

• Using the knowledge of first language and transferring it into the next language, and it "works"

Extra information (multicultural)

Working with interpreters: Using direct language: Talk to the client, not the interpreter

• EX: don't say "hey interpreter, tell the client ___"

Brief them before the session, so they know what they're interpreting (ex: types of assessments)

Debrief them after the session

• "Is there anything else I need to know?"

Don't use family or kids Too involved within caregivers life; makes it bias Interpreter/translator needs own licensure

Setting you're in needs to provide interpreter ~ due to access of language

To be a bilingual slp in schools, need bilingual endorsement on PEL license

- Break into prefix, suffix, root word
Partial word knowledge:
Part of the word you already understand

What is decontextualized language?(linguistics)

**formal definitions for morphology, phonology, syntax, etc.

Age of acquisition gestures (developmental)

Gestures are movements of parts of the body, especially the hands or head to express a meaning or a need (2-5). Children develop intentional communication around 8 to 9 months and they use gestures to meet their needs (6, 7).

morphology, phonology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics (developmental)

Phonology: analyzes the sound patterns of a language by determining which phonetic sounds are significant, and by explaining how these sounds are interpreted by the native speaker.

Morphology: is the study of how words are formed. Words are said to be made up of morphemes, the smallest units of meaning in a language. Morphemes can be words that stand alone like fish, girl, and dark as well as word particles like -ed, -s, -ness, and pre- that are attached to words to modify their meaning in some way.

Syntax: refers to the way in which words are put together to form phrases or clauses. It refers to the formal relationships between words in phrases or sentences. Examples of such relationships are the subject/verb relationship and the relationship between the verb and the direct object.

Semantics: refer to meanings of words and phrases. What might \___language problems look like in a child? Difficulty following verbal directions; use a limited number of words to express himself; experience difficulty asking and answering questions; struggle to understand the relationship between words, such as words in the same category and synonyms, and so on.

Pragmatics: refer to language used in social context. More specifically, \____ means knowing what, when and how to say something in a social situation, and it also can be referred to as "social skills." When children have difficulty using \____ language, additional practice can often result in improvement.

More topic-based
Want it to make sense
No abrupt changes/jumping around in topic
Having logical events involved in relation to the story

Cohesion:

present progressive -ing
-One of the first bound morphemes mastered by 19-28 months
- Starts in stage II
In, on
Regular plural -s
marked by ending a word in [s] or [z]
-Regular these used prior to 3 years of age
--Overgeneralization to irregular verbs is relatively low.
--Expressive mastery of these relies on phonological development
Then -ed
Then ' possessive (Stage III)

What is metacognition?

What happens to speech perception in noise as kids develop?(developmental)

"Think of it in the sense of how people age" - megan mckenna
Gets harder as you get older

What is operant learning theory? (behaviorism) (psychology)

System that uses rewards and punishment to modify behavior

Remember Pavlov's dogs? Which theory of learning did that experiment exemplify? (psychology)

Classical conditioning is learning through association. He showed that dogs could be conditioned to salivate at the sound of a bell if that sound was repeatedly presented at the same time that they were given food.

Behaviorism can't explain how children develop language. Why? (developmental)

Experts in the field of language acquisition believe that behaviorism cannot explain the process of language development since it does not take into account the role of cognition and thought. In other words, first language acquisition is so complicated that it cannot be interpreted by behaviorism.
