UAS - Introduction to Psycholinguistics

One of the influential factors that enables people use language is Language Acquisition Device (LAD). The true statement about LAD is

• A.  It is not naturally installed in mind since born

• B.  It is the theoretical basis of behaviourism theory

• C. It deals with language ability that deals closely with environment

• D.  It is innate

The similarity between human and non-human species in psycholinguistic study is 

• A.  They both have language

• B.   They both have the ability to deliver message through simple sentence 

• C. They both have the language areas in their brain

• D.  They are able to communicate 

According to Levelt (1989), there are 3 major steps of language production. The correct sequence of the production is

• A.  Formulation-conceptualization-articulation

• B.  Conceptualization-articulation-formulation

• C.  Conceptualization-formulation-articulation

• D.  Articulation-conceptualization-formulation

The brain activity which is not the part of in conceptualization stage of language production is 

• A.  Message planning

• B.  Generating Words

• C.  Syntactic selection

• D.  Semantic and pragmatic properties

There are two stages in formulating and determining how to express language. they are

• A.  Word selection and meaning production

• B.  Word selection and sound processing

• C.  Sound processing and semantic selection

• D.  Sound processing and meaning production

The process of learning and acquiring language which underlies the role of environment is the part of 

• A.  Behaviourism theory

• B.  Language learning theory

• C.  Nativism theory

• D.  Communication theory

The use of single word by a child to express complex thought is called

• A.  Naming

• B.  Telegraphic

• C.  Holophrastic

• D.  Morphemic

One of the variables to explain the general order of language acquisition is ease of referent observability. This can be defined as

• A. Referent objects, situations and events that are of interest to the child

• B. Referent objects, situations and events that are easier for child to see, hear and experience

• C. it is essential that child is able to identify the speech sound signaling morpheme

• D.  The greater the sound distinction involved, the easier it will be for a morpheme signal

The study of the way in which people learn a language other than their mother tongue, inside or outside of a classroom is the definition of

• A.  First and second language acquisition

• B.  First language acquisition 

• C.  Second language acquisition 

• D.  First language learning and acquisition 

The brain area that is responsible for auditory reception and speech comprehension is called

• A.  Wernicke’s Area

• B.  Left Hemisphere

• C.  Broca’s Area

• D.  Fissure of Rolando
