become increasingly adept at knowing what information to include, how to arrange it and how to linguistically formulate it.
• This ability emerges gradually on a usage by usage basis rather than as a single linguistic form
• Some linguistic forms are used as presuppositional tools Articles (a, the, an), Demonstratives (this, that, these, those), Pronouns, Proper nouns, Some verbs, questions, Forms of address/titles (when to use
nicknames, Mr., Mrs. Sir, ma'am)
• Conversational topics are based on an assumption that each participant has either knowledge or interest in the topic. Once the topic is introduced it is assumed that each participant knows what the topic is and so it does not need to be re-stated.
• Acquiring these presuppositional skills requires learning to use many linguistic devices (embellishments, exaggerations, elaborations, etc.)
• Understands and typically
follows/obeys rules
• Different types of narratives emerge but may lack the linguistic skill needed to weave a coherent narrative.
• Only 50% of kindergarteners can retell narratives with well formed episode structure
• 70% of narratives are anecdotal of a personal nature
• Fantasy stories are more rare at this age
• Utilizing scripts: dialogs that accompany familiar routines in a child's everyday environment
• Utilizing plans: is an intention or a model of causality (if, then,
because, since, etc)
• Utilizing descriptions: (perception (see/hear), physical states (tired/hungry), emotions (love/hate), needs, thoughts (know) and judgments (naughty, good, bad)

Jamie is a creative child. When she was very young (two-and-a-half), she'd have tea-parties for her dolls... she'd set her table (she has a child-sized table and chairs set) with cups, saucers, and plates; put a doll or a teddy bear on each seat; and "serves" each toy some M&M's on its plate . Now, she's four-and-a-half, and was playing at her bachelor uncle's house (who doesn't have many toys around). In the back yard, she spies a large box, which she turns over to use as a table. Then she collects four large leaves, and "sets" the table with them. She places some concoction of grass, sticks, and mud on each plate, then calls her uncle outside. She asks him to have a seat at the table, and sets about pouring pretend tea into pretend saucers. She offers her uncle some "cookies" from the "plate" (leaf) in front of him. If her uncle is a (good) developmental psychologist, he is likely to:

Think of both cognitive and emotional development. Below,
there are four self-descriptions, given by kids who are 5, 5, 8, and 14. Which child is likely 8 years old?:
1) "My name is Suzy. I have brown hair and blue eyes. I have a dog named Rover, and a blue house."
2) "I am Megan, and I like to draw people; I am not great with landscapes. I usually like to use paint because colored pencils just take too long."
3)"I'm Robert, and I like to draw. I really like using crayons, but sometimes I use finger-paints. I am a nice person, and I share my
crayons with my friends."
4) "I am Henry, and I enjoying thinking about the meaning of life. I am better at thinking about the meaning of my life than the meaning of life in general because I sometimes get overwhelmed pondering the biggest mysteries of the universe."
