Gestalt Language Processing 101- the basics of language acquisition through chunking, scripting, and whole language
Tuesday February 25, 2025 11:00am - 12:00pm MST
Lonestar
When we think of language development, most of us think through the lens of the Analytic Language Model- learning smaller units of language first that develop into longer and more complex language through development. The Gestalt Langauge Model turns that assumption on its head and assumes that some people learn language in longer, more complex chunks first. This session will cover the basics of these two models and strategies for supporting Gestalt Language Processors.
