, the type of learning in which familiarity with a stimulus reduces, slows, or stops a response, is commonly used to study infants’ cognitive processes.
10

Infants as young as one month old demonstrated , the ability to use information given by one sense to guide another.

Inspired by Vygotsky’s view of learning, Rogoff describes , or the mutual interactions with adults that help structure children’s activities and bridge the gap between the child’s and the adult’s understanding.

In contrast to , or verbal expression designed to convey meaning, a is a single word that conveys a complete thought, and is an early form of sentence consisting of only a few essential words.
13

Unlike Skinner’s view that learning language is based on , Chomsky’s view, called , suggests that humans have an inborn capacity for language acquisition, and that an inborn device enables children to infer linguistic rules from the language they hear.
14

Evidence that young children are capable of using more than one language effectively comes from the fact that while infants in dual language households use , incorporating elements of two languages, sometimes in the same sentence, by age two they are able to , or change the language they are speaking to match the situation.
