APA Tip of the Day: Paragraph
and page formatting
• Your page margins should be 1” all around.
• You should NOT have any extra spaces
before or after each paragraph.
• You should indent the first line of each
paragraph ½”.
• Justify the left margin of your text, but leave
the right ragged (see following example).
Example of text justification
Correct: You want to make sure the text lines
up on the left hand margin, this is called left
justified. You do not, however, want the text to
also line up on the right hand margin – you want
it to be left “ragged.”
Incorrect: You want to make sure the text
lines up on the left hand margin, this is called left
justified. You do not, however, want the text to
also line up on the right hand margin – you want
it to be left “ragged.”

Today’s Topic:
Pre-intentional vs.
intentional
communication
“Intentional behaviors are
specifically purposeful and
volitional. They are
activities in the service of
some goal, and they are
observable.”
(Lifter & Bloom, 1998, p. 165)
“The development of intentional
behaviors was regarded as
prerequisite to the development of
intentional communication, which
first appears with gestures and
prelinguistic vocalizations and later
with language.”
(Lifter & Bloom, 1998, p. 170)
Intentional Communication:
“signaling behavior in
which the sender is aware
a priori of the effect that a
signal will have on his
listener.”
(Bates, as cited in Reichle, Halle, & Drasgow, 1998, p. 419)
Intentionality is not “all-or-none”
1) absence of awareness of a goal;
2) awareness of the goal;
3) simple plan to achieve the goal;
4) coordinated plan to achieve the goal;
5) alternative plan to achieve the goal; &
6) metapragmatic awareness of the plan
to achieve the goal.
(Wetherby, Alexander and Prizant, 1998, p. 137)
Seven Indicators of
Intentionality
1. alternating eye gaze
between goal and listener;
2. persistent signaling until a goal is
accomplished or failure is indicated;
3. waiting for a response from a listener;
4. changing the signal quality until the
goal has been met;
Indicators of Intentionality, cont.
5. ritualizing or conventionalizing
communicative forms;
6. ceasing signal production when the
goal is met; and
7. displaying satisfaction when
the goal is met and
dissatisfaction when the goal
is not met.
(as cited in Reichle, Halle, & Drasgow, 1998, p. 419)
Quick Write
What is the difference between
intentional and non-intentional
communication?
How does this transition lead to the
development of language?
