LASS
Language Acquisition Support System, Bruner's concept of the structured support and scaffolding that caregivers provide to facilitate children's language acquisition.
Real World
Research by Hart and Risley (1995) found that children from professional families heard around 30 million more words by age three than children from lower-income families, demonstrating the profound impact of LASS quality on language development.
Exam Focus
Reference Hart and Risley or Snow's motherese research to support LASS with empirical evidence — examiners reward specific studies in AO2/AO3 answers.
