Overgeneralization
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Overgeneralization is a child's application of a grammatical rule to words that are exceptions to it.
Show
A child who said "went" correctly begins saying "goed" after learning the past-tense rule.
Watch for
Overgeneralization is a sign of rule learning, not of regression. The error is evidence of progress.
