Assignment: Human Growth And Development Discussions.
Please read assignment carefully you must use text book attached Chapter 3. Response is for a discussion must be 200-400 words
Topic: Language AcquisitionThere are two major theoretical perspectives of language development, as described in Chapter 3 (see section on Biological and Environmental Influences).
1) Chomsky’s “nativist” perspective
2) the behavioral “learning” perspective
You might find it useful to seek additional information about these perspectives before posting your response.
1. USING AN EXAMPLE, and IN YOUR OWN WORDS, briefly describe each of these two perspectives. HOW do we learn language according to each of these perspectives?
2. Which of these perspectives best explains how children might “make up” words like “swimmed” or “teached”? (And I don’t mean just any made up words – I really mean words that are “wrong” in the way that words like “swimmed” or “goed” are “wrong”.)

Be sure to tell us WHY the perspective you choose provides a better explanation.
3. Is one of these theoretical perspectives by itself sufficient to explain how people learn language? Provide evidence for your answer.
IMPORTANT: When providing evidence for your answers, you must cite the textbook where appropriate by listing the author and page number(s).

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
