<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:


Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
15 shirts.
Step-by-step explanation:
A 20% discount means you still pay 80% of the price.
x represents the number of shirts that can be bought.
(20 x (1-0.2) )x = 240 or (20 x .8)x = 240
16 x = 240
x = 240/16 = 15
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
move the 2l to the other side by subtracting 2l on both sides. you get P - 2l = 2w. now divide both sides by 2 to get the answer.
2x + 5 =7
Subtracting 5 from both sides
= 2x +5-5 = 7-5
=2x = 2
= x = 2/2
=x = 1
