Children's Language Development

This is one of my favorites because in psychology class I learned about the "overregularization". Children pick up grammatical rules intuitively and apply them rigidly. Overregularization is the kind of error that results when a grammatical rule is missing applied to a word that has an irregular plural or past tense like they begin to say "goed," "comed," and "doed." Like the cat in this picture above saying "I eated it." I had never heard my boys or any other small children saying like these because I deaf and couldn't understand them nor any adult telling me what the children had said.
