A.

Empiricists

B.

Behaviorists

C.

Observationists

D.

More than one of the above

E.

None of the above

Correct option is E


Nativists, not the listed groups, believe perceptual abilities are innate. Nativists argue that these abilities are biologically hardwired, while empiricists emphasize learning through sensory experiences, and behaviorists focus on learned behaviors through reinforcement and conditioning.
Information Booster:
1. Nativists: Believe in inborn perceptual abilities (e.g., Noam Chomsky's theory of innate language mechanisms).
2. Empiricists: Stress learning through experience and sensory input (e.g., John Locke’s "tabula rasa").
3. Behaviorists: Emphasize environmental factors and learning (e.g., B.F. Skinner’s operant conditioning).
4. Debate: Nature (nativism) vs. nurture (empiricism).
