How Action Schemas Are Reflected in Young Children's Emerging Language
Arnold, Cath
Early Child Development and Care, v189 n12 p1992-2004 2019
This paper draws on observational studies of three young children in order to demonstrate firstly, their intrinsic motivation to explore systematically through repeated patterns of action or 'schemas'; secondly, how those repeated actions appear and are explored in their emerging language demonstrating their increasing construction of and understanding of complex concepts. Concepts being explored included seriation, capacity and fit and movement and direction. What emerged was the value of child initiated learning, supported sensitively by adults, who need to 'tune in conceptually' to the children's play.
