Some children are backward in speaking. Most often the reason for
this is that the mother is insensible to the signals of the infant, whose 【M1】__________
brain is programmed to learn language rapidly. If these sensitive periods
are neglected, the ideal time for acquiring skills passes and they might
never be learned so easily again. A bird learns to sing and to fly rapidly
at the right time, but the process is slow and hard once the critic stage 【M2】__________
has passed.
Experts suggest that speech stages are reached at a fixed sequence 【M3】__________
and at a constant age, but there are cases that speech has started late in 【M4】__________
a child who eventually turns out to be high IQ. 【M5】__________
Recent evidence suggests that an infant is born with a capacity to 【M6】__________
speak. What is special about man’s brain, compared with this of the 【M7】__________
monkey, is the complex system which enables a child to connect the
sight and feel of. say, a toy-bear with the sound pattern “toy-bear”.
And even more incredible is that the young brain’s ability to pick out an 【M8】__________
order in language from the hubbub of sound around him, to analyze, to
combine and recombine the parts of a language in new ways.
But speech has to be induced, and this depends on interaction
between the mother and the child, where the mother recognizes the
signals in the child’s babbling, grasping and smiling, and responding to 【M9】__________
them. Insensitivity of the mother to these signals dull the interaction 【M10】_________
because the child gets discouraged and sends out only the obvious
signals.
