    What is meant by Psycholinguistics?
    Definition:
    The study of how the mind processes and produces language.
    Two distinct but related psychological processes of language:
    a- Speech production
    b- Speech comprehension

    DR. HANA DAANA


    Stages of First Language Development
    1- Crying, gurgling, and Cooing (vocalization):
    - The same variety of sounds
    - Even deaf children verbalize
    - Unlearned
    - -Meaningless
    - -unintentional

    DR. HANA DAANA


    2- Babbling:
    - Basic syllable (open syllable) consonant + vowel (ma ma ma)
    - Some closed syllables: a consonant + a vowel + a consonant (mam, dad, bab)
    - Universal sounds and meaningless
    - At the age of 6 or 7 months
    - By the end of this stage, children start refining the sounds they produce, keeping the sounds they
    hear in the input and deleting those that do not exist around them.
    - As children babble, they also learn the intonation contours of their language.
    - Babbling is produced unintentionally.
    - Deaf children do not babble.
    - Deaf children use their hands as an equivalent of a babbling manner.

    DR. HANA DAANA


    Explaining the acquisition order of consonants and vowels
    Jacobson (1968) proposed the Theory of Phonological Opposition to suggest the
    order of acquisition. This theory predicts the order of the acquisition of speech
    sounds as follows:
    1-Children acquire front consonants before back consonants (front-to-back order)
    2- Children acquire back vowels before front vowels (back-to-front order)
    Why?
    -Steinberg (1982) proposed two variables or explanations to explain this order:
    oVisibility of articulators
    oEase of articulation
