AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Also known as the holophrastic stage, this typically occurs when a child is between nine-months-old and 18-months-old, and involves communicating via single words, or a single word stem (i.e. doggy, no, stop, etc).

Detailed explanation-2: -At 1-2 years, your child will learn to use and understand more words and more types of words. At first they’ll understand and say mostly nouns – for example, ‘dog’ and ‘bus’. Eventually they’ll understand and say a few verbs – for example, ‘eat’ and ‘run’. Adjectives come next – for example, ‘big’ and ‘blue’.

Detailed explanation-3: -By the time your baby is a year old, he or she is probably saying between one to three words. They will be simple, and not complete words, but you will know what they mean. They may say “ma-ma, ” or “da-da, ” or try a name for a sibling, pet, or toy.

Detailed explanation-4: -One-word (Holophrastic) Stage – 1-1.5-years-old. During this stage, children begin to acquire and produce real words of their native languages. A child in this stage will use single-word constructions to communicate.

Detailed explanation-5: -How Do Toddlers Communicate? Most kids say 1–2 words by 15 months and 3 or more words by 18 months. By 2 years old, most toddlers are saying even more words and can put together 2-word sentences. No matter when they say their first words, it’s a sure bet they already understand much of what you say.
