Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A recast is when an adult takes the inaccurate speech of a child and restates it in a grammatically correct form, without explicitly pointing out the error. This provides indirect feedback and helps the child learn by example. Fast-mapping refers to the ability to quickly learn and remember new words. An expansion is when an adult takes a child's short sentence and expands it into a longer, more detailed one. Overregularization refers to when a child applies a regular grammatical rule (such as adding -ed to form past tense) to an irregular verb (such as "goed" instead of "went").
