"Toward the end of the first year, infants use patterns of rising and falling intonation that resemble the sounds of adult speech."

Intonation is the way the pitch of the voice goes up and down as you speak.

Reproducing adult intonations is one of the ways young children pick up the speech patterns in the language which is spoken at home, even before they know how to formulate sentences. It is the result of the imprint of their parents' speech on their memory. Therefore, when the child then prattles using this intonation, it may sound like they are babbling in their parents' language.

Reil [10]

Answer:

The Principle of closure.

Explanation:

In psychology, Gestalt therapy is a particular type of therapy that has some principles which it works with during therapy.

One of these principles is the principle of closure.

The principle of closure refers to the tendency that the brains has in which it tends to perceive forms and figures in their complete appearance despite the absence of one or more of their parts, either hidden or totally absent. So our brains tend to "complete" the picture when there are missing parts of it.

In the example, a magician has two people concealed in a long wooden box. One person's head and arms stick out of the front and the other's legs stick out of the back. Then the magician saws down the center and it appears that the magician is sawing someone in half.

In this scenario, our brain "completed" the picture, by seeing the head, arms and legs sticking out of the box, it completed the picture and assumed there was just ONE person in the box. Thus, it perceived one person in their complete appearance despite the absence of the rest of the parts.

Thus, this is an example of Principle of Closure

Why was acquiring alaska important to the uswhy did the us want alaska?

Zolol [24]

Russia offered to sell Alaska in 1859 because they were in debt from the Crimean War. The U.S. did not initially make this purchase because of Civil War debts.

At the time of the purchase, America was still in a expansive mood. No one knew of any resources in Alaska then. Oil was not a big one for anyone. Alaska was even called "Stewart's Folly" (Stewart was a secretary of the interior) and a waste of federal money. (The dang place went for about 10 cents per square mile!)

Stewart wanted to simplify the map of North America and to block the British in Canada from further expansion as the USA and the British Empire were still not the best of friends.

Also, the Russians felt they could never have a firm hold on such a distance colony, needed some cash in a hurry because of a pending war with the Ottoman Empire and the Tzar on the throne at the time was a bit wacky.

It was strictly a move by the USA to secure the last major piece of real estate still open in North America.

I hope this helps:)
