Briefly contrast early theories of language development to the more recent theories of language development
Please provide the best answer for the best statement.
1.The three early theories of language development include behaviorist, innatist, and cognitive.
2.Behaviorist theory suggests children are not born with a disposition toward language but learn language based on the responses of those around them. Innatists believe children are born with a Language Acquisition Device that allows them to perceive and quickly grasp grammatical rules, and cognitivists believe children learn language through a combination of maturation and active engagement with the world around them.
3. Recent theories of language development are the interactionist/social theory and the Bayesian theory.
4. Interaction/social theory suggests language is a tool shaped by social and cultural interpersonal interactions, while Bayesian theorists believe children learn to infer the meaning of words based on statistical probability.
