The document discusses several theories of language acquisition and behaviorism. It provides examples of how behaviorist theory can be applied in a classroom setting through operant conditioning using rewards and punishments. It also discusses limitations of behaviorism in not accounting for cognition. Nativist theory is discussed as an opposing view that language acquisition is innate rather than learned through imitation.
The document discusses the behaviorist theory of language acquisition. It explains that according to behaviorism, children learn language through imitation, reinforcement, and practice. When children imitate sounds and words they hear, they are praised or given affection as positive reinforcement, which conditions them to repeat those sounds and words. However, the behaviorist theory has been criticized for not accounting for factors like learning abstract words or novel language not modeled by caregivers. The document also outlines four main stages of language acquisition according to behaviorism: the babbling stage, one-word stage, two-word stage, and telegraphic stage.
This document summarizes several theories of language learning, including:
- Edward Anthony's definitions of approach, method, and technique in language teaching.
- Humanist theory which focuses on human dignity and observational learning.
- Behaviorist theory which emphasizes reinforcement and punishment in language acquisition.
- Chomsky's theory of Universal Grammar which posits an innate language acquisition device.
- Cognitive theories which see language learning as involving mental schemata and organization.
- Krashen's Monitor Theory distinguishing between acquisition and learning.
Theoretical Approaches to First Language AcquisitionBibi Halima
This document discusses different theories of first language acquisition. It provides an overview of the behaviorist and mentalist schools of thought. The behaviorist view, proposed by theorists like Skinner, is that language is learned through imitation, reinforcement, and habit formation in response to environmental stimuli. The mentalist view, proposed by Chomsky, argues that language acquisition is based on innate, language-specific capabilities rather than environmental conditioning. The document also discusses criticisms of each theory and debates around the role of nature versus nurture in language development.
Theories of PSYCHOLINGUISTICS, Language acquisition, Noam Chomsky, Jean Piaget, F. B. Skinner, Innateness theory, Behaviorist theory, Cognitive theory.
The document discusses the mentalist theory of language acquisition. It defines mentalism as a theory that focuses on mental processes and perception, and views language as being acquired through innate cognitive abilities rather than external conditioning alone. The document outlines key aspects of mentalism, including Noam Chomsky's view that humans possess an innate language acquisition device. It also contrasts mentalism with behaviorism, noting mentalism's emphasis on internal mental structures and processes in language learning. Finally, the document discusses implications of the mentalist theory for English for Specific Purposes teaching, emphasizing the importance of understanding learners' cognitive processes.
This document discusses the definition and scope of psycholinguistics. It defines psycholinguistics as the study of the mental processes involved in the comprehension, production, and acquisition of language. Several key aspects of psycholinguistics are discussed, including that it examines how people use language to communicate ideas and gain a better understanding of how the human mind functions. Language is explored from several perspectives within psycholinguistics, such as behavioral, biological, habitual, and creative. Throughout, the focus remains on language as a tool for communication between individuals and communities.
The document summarizes theories of first language acquisition. It discusses the imitation/behaviorist theory proposed by Skinner, which views language learning as habit formation through reinforcement. It also discusses the innateness/nativist theory of Chomsky, which posits that humans are born with an innate language acquisition device. The document further examines cognitive, input, and connectionist theories and their varying perspectives on how the environment and mental faculties influence language learning.

The document discusses two main theories of language acquisition:
1) The Behaviorist theory proposes that language is learned through stimulus-response conditioning and reinforcement from the environment.
2) The Mentalist theory, proposed by Chomsky, argues that children are born with an innate language acquisition device that allows them to unconsciously learn the rules of language based on limited exposure.
Most psychologists agree with the Mentalist view that both nature and nurture influence language acquisition, with innate abilities laying the framework that exposure builds upon as children master the rules of their native language in a short period of time.
This document discusses several theories and concepts related to second language acquisition and models of instruction. It covers behaviourism, constructivism, language acquisition, mastery learning, schema theory, and concludes with a discussion of research on second language acquisition in classroom settings. The key findings are that children acquire language through both innate capacities and environmental influences, and that traditional grammar and vocabulary focused instruction is less effective for proficiency than communicative approaches that provide opportunities for meaningful use of the target language.
This document discusses several theories and concepts related to second language acquisition and models of instruction. It covers behaviourism, constructivism, language acquisition, mastery learning, schema theory, and conclusions about second language acquisition research in classroom settings. The key findings are that children acquire language through both innate capacities and environmental influences, mastery learning aims to help all students learn through appropriate conditions, and research shows traditional grammar/vocabulary focused instruction is less effective than communicative approaches.
The document discusses two influential learning theories - behaviorism and cognitivism. Behaviorism, proposed by theorists like Skinner and Pavlov, believes that learning is shaped by positive and negative reinforcement and conditioning. Cognitivism, developed by Piaget, focuses on how individuals mentally process information rather than just responding to external stimuli. The theories illustrate differences in how learning occurs but also share some similarities.
This document discusses the mentalist theory of language acquisition. The mentalist theory posits that language is acquired through innate, mental faculties rather than conditioning. It argues that children are able to master their native language quickly due to an innate Language Acquisition Device. The theory was influential through Noam Chomsky's work distinguishing linguistic competence from performance. Mentalism views language learning as dependent on how the mind processes information, rather than behaviorist analyses of language use. The theory emphasizes the role of internal mental processes over environmental factors in explaining language acquisition.
This document discusses various topics in psychology including:
- Behaviourism, social learning theory, attachment theory, evolutionary theory, and behavioural genetics as approaches to studying behaviour.
- Defining major concepts of behaviourism, social learning theory, and attachment theory and their differences.
- Describing attachment theory and its relation to psychoanalytic theory and evolutionary psychology. Defining behavioural genetics.
- Discussing cohort effects on experiences of childhood, old age, and adulthood based on different time periods.
The document discusses four main theories of language development in children: behavioral theory, nativist linguistic theories, social interactionist theory, and cognitive theory. Behavioral theory views language as learned through conditioning and environment. Nativist linguistic theories propose an innate language acquisition device. Social interactionist theory emphasizes the social environment and context. Cognitive theory, proposed by Piaget, sees language developing through cognitive maturation stages. Overall, the document examines the key theories but notes language development remains complex with no single theory providing a full explanation.
This document discusses theories of language acquisition in children. It describes the behaviorist theory, which views language learning as conditioned responses to stimuli through reinforcement. It also discusses Chomsky's innateness theory, which argues that children are born with an innate language acquisition device that allows them to learn the underlying rules and structures of language. Finally, it summarizes Piaget's cognitive theory of language development, which views language learning as progressing through sensory-motor, pre-operational, and operational stages as children's cognitive abilities develop.

The document discusses several theories of first language acquisition:
1) Behaviourism views language as learned through stimulus-response and imitation, though it does not explain why all humans acquire language while other species do not.
2) The cognitive approach sees innate cognitive abilities as influencing language learning beyond just environmental factors. Piaget's stages of development also related to language acquisition.
3) The nativist approach, proposed by Chomsky, argues humans are born with an innate language acquisition device and universal grammar containing basic language structures. This explains consistent language acquisition across environments.

1. The document discusses the theories of behaviorism and mentalism as they relate to language learning. Behaviorism views language as learned behaviors and habits, focusing on external factors like reinforcement and stimulus-response mechanisms. Mentalism believes innate, internal factors are most important, and that language learning abilities are inborn rather than learned.
2. Behaviorism's principles for language learning include habit formation, drill-based practice, and reinforcement. Its weaknesses are an over-reliance on animal studies and inability to explain complex language. Mentalism focuses on innate abilities and universal grammar, but neglects external influences.
3. The ideal approach combines both theories, recognizing a role for both internal capacities and external social influences in developing

This document discusses and compares three major learning theories: behaviorism, cognitivism, and constructivism. Behaviorism believes that learning is based on associations between stimuli and responses through reinforcement. Cognitivism focuses on how the brain processes information and memory. Constructivism holds that learners construct knowledge based on their experiences. The document explores the key aspects and differences between these three theories.
The document discusses three domains of language development - syntax, semantics, and pragmatics - and three theories of language acquisition: learning theory, nativist theory, and interactionist theory. Learning theory proposes that language is acquired through reinforcement of behaviors, nativist theory argues aspects of language are innate, and interactionist theory views language acquisition as an interplay between biological predispositions and social/environmental factors.
The document summarizes the behaviorist theory of language learning in 3 key points:
1) Behaviorist theory views language learning as a process of habit formation through stimulus-response associations, where learners' utterances are reinforced or punished through rewards and corrections.
2) Critics argue that behaviorist theory cannot fully explain the complexity of language learning, creativity, and individual differences between learners.
3) While behaviorism has limitations, it established foundations for language exercises and teaching methods and influenced applied linguistics.
The document discusses theories of language acquisition, including behaviorist, nativist, and interactionist theories. It evaluates these theories based on the stages of language acquisition. The behaviorist theory believes that language is learned through imitation and reinforcement, while the nativist theory, championed by Chomsky, argues that humans have an innate language acquisition device. The interactionist theory sees both nature and nurture as contributing factors, with language developing through interactions with one's environment.

Language Acquisition Models 2
From the seventies, there is a radical change concerning the context and orientation in the study of children's language. Therefore, this study was emphasized in the development of the child's spontaneous speech. The question was how children acquired their first language. From this question came some theories, of which their respective creators presented their views. Theories of acquisition and development of language. The Behavioral Model, the Nativist or Syntactic Model, the Semantic-Cognitive Model, the Social Interactionist Model, the Information Processing Model, and the Emergentist Model.
Skinner's behavioral approach tells us that: “the child is seen as a relatively passive recipient of external influences-from parents, siblings, and others” (p.46). In other words, Skinner's behavioral approach takes an empiricist position, which considers that language development comes solely and exclusively from external and internal experience and stimuli. According to his theory, the infant learns by answers that are verbal and intraverbal, in a secondary way. On the positive aspects of behaviorism is the way of speaking to the child, what was first called the Babytalk. Also, treatment programs for children with speech disorders or speech therapy. Studies are analyzed globally verbal, in other words, (conversation). The criticized part of the theory implies the misuse of the order of the acquired words, the explanation of novel productions, and the grammatical errors produced for adults (p. 47). According to the textbook, the theory still has some value, such as parents and other important roles. Also, it has been a successful tool in developing intervention approaches to improve the language skills of many people with significant language disorders (p. 47).
The Nativist or Syntactic Model: Noam (1965; 1968) and others developed the nativist/syntactic theory of language acquisition in response to the behavioral theory of language acquisition (p. 48). Chomsky's position is mentalistic, according to which language
Language Acquisition Models 3
is conceived from innate structures; that is why his theory is known as "generative grammar." According to Chomsky, the innatism of language is congenital and genetic in the individual, therefore, it is what he calls LAD (Language Acquisition Device). Chomsky's point of.
Universal vs conntext.specific develpmentEngr Hassan
The document discusses three key issues in developmental psychology: nature vs nurture, continuity vs discontinuity, and universal vs context-specific development. It then summarizes three major theories: Piaget's cognitive-developmental theory which emphasizes innate stages of cognitive development influenced little by environment; Erikson's psychosocial theory which views development as proceeding through innate psychosocial stages with strong environmental influences; and social cognitive learning theory which sees development as the gradual accumulation of learned behaviors through modeling and reinforcement from the environment.
The document discusses several theories of language acquisition:
1) Behaviorism/Imitation theory proposes that language is learned through imitation, reinforcement, and conditioning. Critics argue children cannot perfectly imitate adult speech and show reasoning in irregular forms.
2) Nativism/Innateness theory argues humans are born with an innate language acquisition device that allows deducing grammar from input. However, the role of environment is difficult to ignore.
3) Cognitive theory views language within cognitive development, where linguistic structures emerge from conceptual abilities. However, precise correlations are difficult to show.
4) Input theory focuses on modified "motherese" input adapting to children's needs, but occasional correlations do not prove causation
This document discusses the key differences between paradigms, methodologies, and methods in research. It defines paradigms as theoretical mindsets or collections of beliefs that underlie a researcher's approach. Methodologies are discipline-specific approaches and processes used in research. Methods are the specific techniques used to collect research data, such as interviews, observation, and artifact collection. The document provides examples of methodologies like ethnography and action research, as well as methods commonly used within those methodologies.

2. Behaviorism focuses on the idea that all behaviors are learned
through interaction with the environment.
This learning theory states that behaviors are learned from the
environment, and says that innate or inherited factors have very little
influence on behavior.
What is an example of behaviorist theory?
An example of behaviorism is when teachers reward their class or certain
students with a party or special treat at the end of the week for good
behavior throughout the week.
The same concept is used with punishments. The teacher can take away certain
privileges if the student misbehaves.
3. What is behaviorist theory by Skinner?
Skinner's behavior theory was based on two assumptions, firstly that human
behavior follows 'laws' and that the causes of human behavior are something
outside of a person, something in their environment.
He believed that these environmental 'causes' of behavior could always be observed
and studied.
What are the 3 behavioral theories?
The most-often used theories of health behavior are Social Cognitive Theory, The
Trans theoretical Model/Stages of Change, the Health Belief Model, and the
Theory of Planned Behavior.
4. What are the 6 main theories of behavior?
Terms in this set (6)
•Biological Perspective. Mental illness is due to a defect in the brain structure or
function.
•Cognitive Perspective. ...
•Behavioral Perspective. ...
•Psychodynamic Perspective. ...
•Humanistic & Existential Perspective. ...
•Community-Cultural Perspective.
5. The cognitive perspective in psychology focuses on how the interactions of thinking,
emotion, creativity, and problem-solving abilities affect how and why you think the
way you do
This theory says that an individual can be motivated to action by something that is outside
of themselves. For example, getting a new car will motivate a teenager to graduate
high school. Getting money will motivate an adult to go to work every day.
The psychodynamic perspective encompasses a number of theories that explain both normal
and pathological personality development in terms of the dynamics of the mind. Such
dynamics include motivational factors, affects, unconscious mental processes, conflict, and defense
mechanisms.
What is the existential perspective in psychology?
Existential-humanistic psychology emphasizes the importance of human choices and decisions
and feelings of awe toward life.
The cultural perspective rests on an image of community where values and shared meanings
hopefully merge into cultural integrity.
Contrary to issues within the political perspective, cultural issues are hardly negotiable, as their
meaning may have deep roots in ideology or group identity.
6. What is behaviorist theory in language?
According to the Behaviorist Theory, Skinner (1985) equated learning a language to verbal
behavior. Therefore, he believes that language acquisition like any other behavior can be
observed, rather than trying to explain the mental systems underlying these types of behaviors.
What are the principles of behaviorist theory?
Behaviorism focuses on the idea that all behaviors are learned through interaction with the
environment. This learning theory states that behaviors are learned from the environment, and
says that innate or inherited factors have very little influence on behavior.
What is Skinner's theory of language acquisition?
Skinner (1957) argued that language acquisition could be explained by mechanisms of operant
conditioning (OC). OC is a technique that can be used to target and increase a behavior by pairing
performance of the target behavior with a positive or rewarding outcome (Domjan, 2010).
7. What is behaviorist theory of language learning?
According to the Behaviorist Theory, Skinner (1985) equated learning a language to verbal
behavior.
Therefore, he believes that language acquisition like any other behavior can be observed, rather
than trying to explain the mental systems underlying these types of behaviors.
What behaviorist says about language acquisition?
The behaviorist theory believes that “infants learn oral language from other human role models
through a process involving imitation, rewards, and practice. Human role models in an infant's
environment provide the stimuli and rewards,” (Cooter & Reutzel, 2004).
How is language learned according to the behaviorist theory?
Behaviorists consider learning a language as a set of mechanical habits which are formed through
a process of imitation and repetition. Humans learn a language through repeating the same form
and text until it becomes a habit. Children imitate the sounds and patterns which they hear around
(Lightbown & Spada: 1999)
8. Why behaviorism is important in the study of language acquisition and
learning?
Early Theories
Skinner argued that children learn language based on behaviorist
reinforcement principles by associating words with meanings. Correct
utterances are positively reinforced when the child realizes the communicative
value of words and phrases.
What are the two opposing thoughts in the study of first language acquisition?
There are two suggested reasons why such simplifications occur. The first
reason is that learners may not have yet acquired the necessary linguistic
forms. The second reason is that they are unable to access linguistic forms
during production
9. What are the criticisms to the behaviorist theory?
Among the most common criticisms of behaviorism are that it is
mechanistic and reductionist. Critics feel this case is obvious prima
facie while behaviorists find it groundless. Perhaps we can find the key
to these opposing views.
What are some limitations of behaviorism?
•Social Learning Theories. Limitations of Behaviorism: ignores
motivation, thought, and cognition. ...
•Response – one's reaction to the cue. Reinforcement – the effect of the
response. ...
•- based on past experience. Psychological situation – the situation as
defined by the person.
10. Which perspective can explain how children acquire language?
The interactionist approach (sociocultural theory) combines ideas
from sociology and biology to explain how language is developed.
According to this theory, children learn language out of a desire to
communicate with the world around them. Language emerges from, and
is dependent upon, social interaction.
What are the main theories of language acquisition?
There are four main theories of language acquisition:
•linguistic theory;
•behaviorist theory;
•cognitive theory; and.
•interactionist theory.
11. How can a teacher apply Behaviorism to teach language?
How can you apply this?
1.Teacher leads the class through a topic.
2.Students listen silently.
3.Teacher then sets a task based on the information.
4.Students complete the task and await feedback.
5.The teacher gives feedback, then sets the next task.
6.With each round of feedback, the student is being conditioned to learn the
material.
12. Which theory of language development would explain language acquisition in
children as innate rather than a result of imitation?
The nativist theories claim that individuals have an innate process used in
learning language known as the language acquisition device (LAD), which
assists in helping them learn language automatically.
Description. Language acquisition is the study of the processes by which a person learns a language.
Nativist theories hypothesize that language is an innate fundamental part of the human genetic
make-up and that language acquisition occurs as a natural part of the human experience.
13. What is nativist theory example?
For example, no child will say “Biscuit mummy”, instead the child will say “Mummy, biscuit”. The
reason is thus, when a child starts to put two words together, the child has already mastered the basic rules
of syntax. And even when the child makes an erroneous sentence, he applies them correctly.
What is the major assumption of the nativist theory of language acquisition?
The most well-known theory about language acquisition is the nativist theory, which suggests
that we are born with something in our genes that allows us to learn language.
What is the importance of nativist theory?
The Nativist theory believes there is a biological approach to language development
through the genetic makeup of all humans while proposing this theory is a miracle. Chomsky
argued to gain language cannot be the sole aid for learning as language itself is complex.
14. What are the principles of the nativist theory?
The Nativist Theory – Suggests that we're born with a specific language-
learning area in our brain. Nativists believe that children are wired to learn
language, regardless of their environment. The Behaviorist Theory – Says that
language develops as a result of certain behaviors, such as imitation.
What was the main idea of nativism?
Nativism is the political policy of promoting or protecting the interests of native or
indigenous inhabitants over those of immigrants, including the support of
immigration-restriction measures.
15. What is the importance of Chomsky's theory on language?
Chomsky based his theory on the idea that all languages contain similar structures and rules (a
universal grammar), and the fact that children everywhere acquire language the same way, and
without much effort, seems to indicate that we're born wired with the basics already
present in our brains
What are the main challenges in language acquisition?
Whatever your situation in life, there are five main problems that generally present themselves
when trying to learn a language. These challenges go beyond your obvious – grammar,
vocabulary, phrasal verbs and diction. I'm talking about the real reason things get
complicated or stopped before they even begin.
