pragmatic bootstrapping

[parisa Daftarifard]

Dear Anat,

Very interesting topic.....I am not sure but lack of language development or
language development delay can occur because of problems in pragmatic
bootstrapping in some children. Kids with low possibility of being involved
in interaction-- when mothers or fathers are busy or when kids live in a
poor-interaction environment-- showed to have language delay. This is
especially interesting when we consider that TVs are always on and they can
get enough input in a unilateral way.

Best.
