Chapter Nine Summary
Chidren's cognitive development underlies their developing skills with language. Jean Piaget's research has taught us most of what we know about cognitive development in young children. Piaget believes that human cognition develops in a series of identifiable stages. The four stages include: sensorimotor (birth to two years), preoperational (two to seven years), concrete operational (seven to eleven years), and formal operational (eleven to adult). Children go through all stages in order because each stage builds on the previous stage(s). Since children's rates of development differ, age is not necessarily a good predictor in cognitive skills.
Facts
- It is during the sensorimotor stage in which cognition foundations are laid for language development.
- The idea of object permanance is crucial to language.
- Some time around 18 months, babies will be able to engage in what Piaget calls differed imitaion.
- Preoperational children lack communication and problem solving strategies because they lack experience.
-
The preoperational child also lacks the ability to concieve another person's point of view.
- Children's speech affects their thinking. Children seem to guide their actions and thoughts with speech.
- Piaget felt that language is part of a much larger complex of process thinking.

2. What is deferred imitation?
* imitation of behavior the children can no longer see
3. True or False. Preoperational children lack role-taking ability; they cannot see from another person's point of view.
* True

Summary
chapter ten is about how children learn to communicate. it talks about the behaviorist and the functionalist theory. it also goes into how the semantics and cognitive development affect language development.
