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

    Piaget

    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.
