List the limitations of Cognitive and Social and Interaction Model |
Cognitive: -Children can acquire cognitive skills but not language (deaf children) -Some children are more developed in language than cognitive/emotionally (down syndrome) Social and Interaction Model: -Lack of focus on grammatical development -Follow a similar sequence (even though children would have different levels of social interaction) -Importance of siblings |
