Bill constantly talks to his 3-month-old infant. His friend Ted tells him that it is useless to do so because an infant cannot understand language. Social-pragmatists would
 
  agree with Ted, since cooing and babbling are reflexive.
  suggest that Bill's behavior indicates he needs therapy.
  agree with Ted, since too much listening slows talking.
  disagree with Ted, because Bill's behavior teaches communication.

Question 2

By 10 months of age, Alan has a vocabulary of a dozen words. B. F. Skinner would have attributed Alan's rapid speech development mainly to his
 
  unusually high I.Q.
  unusual language-acquisition talent.
  parents' talking to him frequently.
  rapid physical development.
