Explanation:

it emphasizes the nativistic theory

a. this video is centered on innate development of languages. The children was tested by using the Wogs test. This test was simply a grammar test of word that these children were not used to. This video emphasizes the fact that children can easily grasp what they see their parents doing as well as the happenings around them.

b. This shows the symbolic function of languages. What the children learn is based on  their level of exposure and the materials that are available to them. It also shows that children could have the same teaching but how they assimilate these teachings differs from one child to the other. Children are able to pick up on language and then develop it in their own unique way.

c. Merely being exposed to languages is not enough, But through encouragement to converse and , these children are more likely to be better in languages. This is due to the fact that children perceive languages in different ways. based on this i believe that parents should read to their children even before they start to talk. Given that initial sensory exposure has a big importance on how children develop languages.

Katie considers the alternatives that will be lost if she decides to spend her savings on buying a car. What is the economic ter
Mazyrski [523]

The economic term is the opportunity cost.

The concept of opportunity cost is a relatively inexpensive and relative measure that involves people's preferences, so it varies from person to person. It is a question of comparing what is left over when making a decision.

In Katie's case, the opportunity cost of the money she saves to buy a car is what she fails to do with that money. For example, she stops investing in stocks, fails to make a trip, etc.

All decisions involve an opportunity cost. Taking another example, the opportunity cost of studying for the test at the end of the week is measured by the loss of leisure you would have. However, the decision to study for the test is chosen because it is more valuable.
