Discuss the socialization process, identify and describe at least 4 influential agents of socialization.
Genie lived her early years almost entirely alone. Describe the things that she “failed to learn” because she was alone.
According to the documentary, was Genie able to learn after she was rescued from her isolation? In your essay, describe the impact of socialization on Genie’s progress.
What, if anything, held her back?
Isolated children have unusual learning histories. Suggest the reasons why we think we can learn something about normal learning from studying these children.
Genie’s case is particularly interesting to researchers who work in the area of language acquisition. Scientists believe that there may be a critical period for first language acquisition. This means that there is a time limit during which the baby/child must be exposed to language if s/he is to acquire language normally. In theory, if a child is not exposed to language during the critical period, s/he will never be able to acquire it normally. Do you think that this was the case with Genie? Or, do you believe that she may have had underlying learning disabilities from birth?
