A teacher believes that humans learn language in the same way as other skills and abilities- through experience. With which theorist would she agree ?

A.

Piaget

B.

Chomsky

C.

Skinner

D.

Vygotsky

Correct option is C

Skinner
Skinner was a behaviorist who believed that language learning is a process of operant conditioning. This means that children learn language through reinforcement, or rewards. For example, when a child says a word correctly, they may be praised or rewarded with a smile, which reinforces the behavior and makes them more likely to say the word again.
