How do children learn to speak and understand language? In this video, we dive deep into the fascinating process of language development in children through three major psychological perspectives.
You’ll learn about:
Noam Chomsky’s Nativist Theory – the idea of an inborn Language Acquisition Device and the essential components of language (phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics).
Interactionist Theory – how cognitive development and environment work together in shaping language.
Social Interactionist Theory (Vygotsky & Bruner) – the role of parents, teachers, and society in a child’s speech development.
