First Language acquisition

In the mid-twentieth century, researchers began to analyze children's language, they focused on the psycholinguistic process that allows human beings to gain fluency in a complex communication system. The most notable advances were in generative and cognitive models of language when describing language acquisition.

Theories of first language acquisition

It is incredible to realize that most people do not realize the addition in the language of children that they use to communicate either through babbling, crying, vocalizing or sending an extra-ordinary number of messages. It begins to build from the words and then to form sentences and thus its ability to understand increases and this becomes conversations.

Eric Lenneberg 1967, propuso que la lengua es un comportamiento " especifico de la especie " determinado biologamente .
El termino nativista es deribado de la afirmacion fundamental que la adquisicion del lenguaje esat determinada de forma inata .

Chomsky 1965, affirmed the existence of innate properties of the lengauje to explain the dominance of the iño of a native language (LAD).

language is a fundamental part of total human behavior. The behavioral approach focused on the immediately perceptible, effective linguistic behavior to produce concrete responses to stimuli.

B F Skinner classic as verbal behavior 1975 the best known attempts at linguistic behavior is by the operant condition

for example, one learns to understand a statement by responding appropriately and reinforcing oneself to make an answer.

The Nativist Approach

operant conditioning refers to conditioning in which the organism emits an operant response without necessarily observable stimuli

theory based on conditioning and reinforcement has various novelties such as speaking or writing

mediation theory

The child is able to acquire frames of a linear pattern of sentence elements and learn stimulus response equivalences.

Dan Slobin showed that in all languages semantic learning depends on the cognitive ,of social interaction and language development

Holzman 1984 proposed that a reciprocal What is the Operant Behavioral System in the Infant Child Train in Language Development.

Luis blog 1971 pointed out that the relationship between words occur in telegraphs, the expressions are only superficially similar, so the children lean below structures and not a superficial word order.

the linguistic performance of a child can be a consequence of many levels of simultaneity that are point neural interconnections according to the PDF or Brazil model is not generated by a series of rules

Distributed and parallel PDF processing based on the idea that information is the process simultaneously at various levels of care

the generative rules or tens in a linguistic sense are a connection between each pair of our brain neurons

linguistic stimulus elicits a response mediation that is self-stimulating

Charles Osgood 1953-1957 called this self-esteem a representational mediation process theories of mediation

they are interwoven into one in a total cognitive and affective experience of the person, another attempt with the first language was made by Gary King and Palermo 1964

Berko Gleason 1988-1991 examines the interaction between the child's language acquisition and learning of how social systems operate in human behavior given that language is used for interactive communication
