Language is a complex communication system that changes as we age. Identify and examine a developmental stage (i.e., infancy, early childhood, middle and late childhood, adolescence, adulthood and old age) describing the language skills at your selected phase. Describe how biological and environmental factors influences and shape the skills of the selected developmental stage.
Your initial post must be at least 300 words and use a minimum of one scholarly source located in the Ashford University Library or on Google Scholar that is cited and referenced according to APA style, as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
Guided Response: Review several of your classmates' posts. Provide a substantive response to at least two of your peers in a minimum of 200 words. Respond to a post that examines a stage different from the one you selected and one that examines the same phase. Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the content of each post. Be sure that you cite scientific evidence to support your views.
