Historically, many theories of development have pitted biology, or nature, against environment, or nurture. for example, attempts to explain the ease with which babies acquire language focused either on the ways in which parents teach language to their children or on the emergence of the infant's innate language abilities. behaviorist b. f. skinner believed that language development could be explainedtirely by principles of learning, including imitation, reinforcement, and discrimination.
arguing against the nurture position, linguist noam chomsky maintained that language is far too complex to be mastered so early and so easily through learning alone. instead, chomsky maintained that our language capacity is inborn more recently, developmentalists have concluded that both skinner's and chomsky's theories have some validity but that neither is completely correct; rather, it is the interaction of nature and nurture win a specific social context that accounts for the ease with which children acquire language. in this exercise, review he ollowing examp es of language use and decide whether eaγ prov explain your reasoning
