3.Children learn language at a far faster pace than adults.One explanation for this learning advantage comes not from differences between children and adults,but from the differences in the way that people talk to children and adults.
A team of researchers developed a method to experimentally evaluate how parents use what they,know about their children's language when they talk to them.They have found that parents have models of their children's language knowledge,and use these models to adjust the language they use when speaking to them.
"We have known for years that parents talk to children differently than to other adults in a lot of ways,for example,simplifying their speech and repeating words," said Daniel Yurovsky,assistant professor in psychology at Carnegie Mellon University. "This helps young kids lear language,but we don't know whether parents change the way they talk as children are acquiring language."
Yurovsky adds,"Adults tend to speak to children more slowly,Adults also strengthen their communication with questions to see if children have understood their speech.As the child's language fluency increases,the sentence structure and complexity (复杂性) used by adults increases."
Yurovsky and his team wanted to understand exactly how parents adjusted their interactions to match their child's speech development.The team developed a game where parents helped their children to pick a certain animal from a set of three.Half of the animals in the matching game were animals children typically learn before age two,and the other half were animals that are typically learned later.The researchers asked 41 child-adult pairs to play the game.They measured the differences in how parents talked about animals they thought their children knew as compared to those they thought their children did not know.
The researchers found that the Caregiver used various techniques to introduce the unknown animal to the child.The most common approach was to use additional descriptors familiar to the child.
(1)Researchers have found parents adjust how they talk to their kids based on
A.their own language level
B.the importance of the talk
C.the closeness of their relationship
D.their kids' language knowledge
(2)Why do adults ask questions when talking to kids in Yurovsky's opinion?
A.To draw kids' attention to the talk.
B.To measure kids' comprehension.
C.To encourage kids to think carefully.
D.To increase the difficultly of the speech.
(3)What did the researchers do to the parents in the game?
A.They studied their ways to describe animals.
B.They required them to not like some animals.
C.They asked them to comment on kids' speech.
D.They limited their words used to talk to kids.
(4)What can be a suitable title for the text?
