Answer to Question 1

Four competing theories attempt to explain how children acquire language. The behaviorist perspective emphasizes the role of parental reinforcement in helping children to learn the sounds, words, and rules of language. Nativists stress the importance of children's inborn capacity to learn language. The social-interactionist position emphasizes the importance of both environmental factors and children's innate predisposition to make sense out of language and use it for practical purposes; according to this view, children learn about language by using it in social situations. The social-interactionist view also highlights the role of parental support in language acquisition. The neuro-biological view complements all three of the previous views on language development and explains the ways in which the structural development of the brain is related to language acquisition.
