Premack and Woodruff defined theory of mind as the ability to ascribe mental states to oneself and to others. The ability to ascribe these mental states was called a ‘theory’ because mental states are not observable. Premack and Woodruff also used the term ‘theory’ as mental constructs of states of mind are used to predict behaviour.null The Critical Period Hypothesis The hypothesis claims that there is an ideal 'window' of time to acquire language in a linguistically rich environment, after which further language acquisition becomes much more difficult and effortful. nullThe critical period hypothesis states that the first few years of life is the crucial time in which an individual can acquire a first language if presented with adequate stimuli. If language input doesn't occur until after this time, the individual will never achieve a full command of language—especially grammatical systems. nullThinking for speaking Hypothesis Slobin has extensively studied the organization of information about spatial relations and motion events by speakers of different languages, including both children and adults. He has argued that becoming a competent speaker of a language requires learning certain language-specific modes of thinking.
