AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Usually, productive/expressive language is considered to begin with a stage of pre-verbal communication in which infants use gestures and vocalizations to make their intents known to others.

Detailed explanation-2: -A new study implies that your toddler speaks her own language (sort of). Toddlers, in fact, really do develop their own individual language and grammar rules. The study looked at 2 and 3-year olds and analyzed over 60 hours of conversation they had with their parents.

Detailed explanation-3: -Language development starts with sounds and gestures, then words and sentences. You can support language development by talking a lot with your child, and responding when your child communicates. Reading books and sharing stories is good for language development.

Detailed explanation-4: -They begin to learn sounds, words, and pace and rhythm of language in utero. After they are born, they learn to imitate the facial and tongue movements of language by observing those around them. Babies with older siblings seem to acquire language skills sooner than families without older siblings.
