Explain what is known about language acquisition for deaf and hearing infants born to deaf or hearing parents and how this offers support for a language acquisition device.
What will be an ideal response?
Deaf children display similar babbling behaviors at about the same time as hearing infants. Hearing infants born to deaf parents learn language at about the same time as those born to hearing parents. Thus, although environmental variables impact what children do, they don't seem to disrupt general acquisition of language at similar time-points. This supports an underlying language mechanism.
