πŸ‘‰πŸ»πŸ‘‰πŸ»πŸŒΉChomsky vs Skinner learning theories..


πŸ‘‰πŸ»πŸ‘‰πŸ»πŸŒΉTheory of Behaviorism says we need feedback to be successful, even in learning a language. Noam Chomsky was developing his own ideas while Skinner was working on his Theory of Behaviorism. Chomsky developed the theory of Universal Grammar. ... His proof was the fact that there are some universal elements in all languages...

πŸ‘‰πŸ»πŸŒΉLanguage acquisition is the process by which humans acquire the capacity to perceive and comprehend language, as well as to produce and use words and sentences to communicate. Language acquisition is one of the quintessential human traits, because non-humans do not communicate by using language.
πŸ‘‰πŸ»πŸ‘‰πŸ»πŸŒΉ✋🏼Chomsky's linguistic theory states that we are born with an innate ability to learn language, and with little guidance, children will naturally learn language. Chomsky argues we must be born with a language acquisition device, an area in our brains that makes learning language a natural event.

πŸ‘‰πŸ»πŸ‘‰πŸ»πŸŒΉ✋🏼B. F. Skinner was one of the most influential of American psychologists. A behaviorist, he developed the theory of operant conditioning -- the idea that behavior is determined by its consequences, be they reinforcements or punishments, which make it more or less likely that the behavior will occur again.

πŸ‘‰πŸ»πŸŒΉπŸŒΉπŸŒΉWhat is the two word stage?
Two Word Stage. Within a few months of producing one word utterances children will begin to produce two-word phrases. The two-word stage often occurs from 18-24 months, consisting of utterances generally two nouns or a noun and a verb.

πŸ‘‰πŸ»πŸ‘‰πŸ»✋🏼What did Albert Bandura do?
Albert Bandura. Albert Bandura is a contemporary psychologist specializing in developmental psychology and educational psychology. Much of his work centers around social learning theory. He is one of the most widely-cited psychologists of all time.


πŸ‘‰πŸ»πŸ‘‰πŸ»Albert Bandura is an influential social cognitive psychologist who is perhaps best-known for his social learning theory, the concept of self-efficacy, and his famous Bobo doll experiments. He is a Professor Emeritus at Stanford University and is widely regarded as one of the greatest living psychologists.

πŸ‘‰πŸ»πŸ‘‰πŸ»πŸŒΉπŸŒΉConclusion..

πŸ‘‰πŸ»The Search for a Unified Theory of Language Learning
Language. It’s all around us. It’s vital for our everyday existence.

And yet many of us find it challenging to pick up a new one.

The problem, we tell ourselves, is that we’re thinking too hard.

The solution, we say, is to be more like those kids that we once were when we learned our first language. Simply absorbing things the way kids do without really thinking about the language must surely be our best bet, we convince ourselves.

But here’s the thing. We’re not kids anymore and we never will be again.

We’re not going to have the same opportunities as we did in our native language where we were in constant contact with mothers, fathers and siblings who corrected our every mistake (though a girlfriend or boyfriend might compensate). Nor do most of us want to spend 18 years of our lives studying a language just to achieve high school level fluency.

We don’t need to abandon the lessons we’ve taken from childhood language learning, but we must surely temper them with something else. And that thing is theory.

Theory, that most highly condensed form of thought based on principles and evidence, can help us as adults to excel in language learning in ways that would otherwise not be possible.

Of course, learning about language learning theory in no way needs to occupy the bulk of your time. By devoting just a fraction of your time to theory right now, you’ll reap benefits far beyond getting in an extra 10 minutes of studying. So without further ado, let’s start at the beginning.
