Essay Questions (2 pt. each) (Minimum: 1 page, maximum: 2 pages, double-spaced; Use APA style) You MUST select and answer two out of three questions. You can answer the third essay question for extra credit. 1. It's unclear whether Genie had any mental retardation (either from birth or as a result of her abuse). Why does this fact make her case problematic for deriving clear conclusions about the Critical Period Hypothesis? 2. Does Genie's learning of vocabulary words constitute acquisition of language? Why or why not? If it is language, then why should she have been able to learn some vocabulary, but not able to learn rules of grammar (i.e., syntax and morphology)? 3. Can you imagine a more "ideal case" for testing the Critical Period Hypothesis? What kind of case could provide clearer evidence that one cannot acquire a first language after puberty?

Explanation / Answer

Critical period hypothesis states that ability to acquire language depends upon biological age of a person. Genie learned language quickly, she matsered some concepts of grammar. Her vocb was groqing rapidly. It was said that she had developed cognitive abillities. Hence though she astarted learning language late, she grasped at good pace.

Yes, learning a language does involve words and thereby vocab. Many new foreign language learners, even adults are not able to understand all grammar rules, hence they know vocab they can construct sentences but in that case they foret syntax, or tense etc. Same must have happened with Genie.
