3. Cognitive Developmental

No unique learning mechanism, cognitive growth must occur for language to develop
- Sensorimotor stage: prelingusitc. childrens understanding of the environment only comes from heir sensory and movement (direct and motor) activities.
  - Object permanence: an awareness that an object continues to exist even when it is out of sight
- Preoperational Stage: begin to represent the world with words, images, and drawings.
Language appears when children's cognitive growth reaches a point where they use and manipulate symbols.

IMPLICATIONS:

a curriculum that recognizes the importance of the development of specific cognitive mechanisms as precursors to the onset of language such as object permanence
many opportunities for symbol making and manipulation
children given activities that encourage them to represent their world through speaking, drawing, and writing.
