<span>To acquire knowledge, thought is a fundamental necessity
-It must be "thought about" before any new ideas can be formulated (e.g., a student who is learning English as a second language must be competent in his primary native language before he can "think" or understand new concepts in another language)
-Initial emergence of language and thought are separate from each other, until about the age of 3 when a transition takes place in the child from the external to the internal
-Children practice private speech (self-talk) to become more competent
---The use of private speech helps children to self-regulate through organizing, guiding, and controlling their behavior
---Private speech is responsible for all higher levels of mental functioning
Noam Chomsky
Language Acquisition
-Language learning is innate
-Chomsky believes that children are prewired to learn language and that infants have a language acquisition device (LAD) built-in neurologically so that they can intuitively understand grammar
-There is a critical period when children find it easy to learn language
Language development milestones: Infant (0-12 months)
-Early vocalizations are spontaneous sounds of cooing (vowels) or crying
-Then babbling sounds (phonemes) begin with sounds more like patterned speech with consonant-vowel strings ("da-da-da-da")</span>
Answer:
y= 12
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3 y + 7 = 15
Subtract 7 from each side
2/3 y + 7-7 = 15-7
2/3 y = 8
Multiply each side by 3/2 to isolate y
3/2 * 2/3 y = 3/2 * 8
3/2 * 2/3 y = 3 * 4
y = 12
Answer:
x=5
Step-by-step explanation:
AD = DB
Angle ADE = Angle CDB
Angle DAE = Angle DBC (Alternate angles)
Angle DEA = Angle DCB (Alternate angles)
Since you have two congruent angles and one congruent side, triangle ADE is congruent to triangle CDB. This means that DE is congruent to DC implying D is the midpoint of CE.
