Language and cognitive development are exclusive of each other.
Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)
False
Rationale: Correct. Language and cognitive development are interwoven (Waxman & Goswami, 2012). For example, the child gradually gains the capacity to discriminate between animals on the basis of distinct features, such as size, patterns of movement, and the sounds they make. At the same time, the child also is acquiring words that represent broader categories, such as mammal and animal.
