Seniors- Ch. 7 Language: Nature or Nurture?
In chapter 7, we revisit the underlying debate in child development; which has more of an influence, nature or nurture? This debate also applies to language development. Traditionally, there are two theories on how children acquire the ability to use language. Noam Chomsky's nativist theory emphasizes the role of inborn characteristics, while B.F. Skinner's social learning theory emphasizes the role on the surrounding environment on language development.
Your task is to pick ONE side of the debate and argue why you think either the nativist theory or social learning theory has MORE of an influence on language development. Include details about your chosen theory to support your answer. Provide counter-arguments for the criticisms of your chosen theory. Also, incorporate how deaf children's sign language development can add to your supporting points. After you answer the previous questions, you may add other examples from class (Genie article, notes, videos) to strengthen your debate.
