The nativist theory deals with the biological belief that language is an innate feature of the infant. The nativist theory is where it is believed that we have an inborn ability to learn and learning is in our genetics.
what are the strengths and weakness of modernization theory
nativist view.
The nativist theory is where it is believed that we have an inborn ability to learn and learning is in our genetics. Therefore who we are today is because we're born like that because of our biologiocal history. Chomsky has done many reseach on this and has the greatest influence on this theory.
The learning theory posits that language is acquired through exposure and reinforcement, suggesting that it is a learned behavior. In contrast, the nativist perspective emphasizes that humans are biologically predisposed to acquire language, known as the Language Acquisition Device, suggesting that language acquisition is an innate ability.
Some of the strengths of inter-language theory are that it is systematic and universal by nature. It has liberated language teaching methods and paved the way for a communicative teaching approach. Some of the weakness of the inter-language theory are that it is extremely criticized for it's limited explanatory powers. It is based on fault learning, which can lead to a lack of motivation, especially if criticism is not constructive. The theory cannot place an exact emphasis on correct interpretation between the speaker and the listener.
There are many strengths and weaknesses of Social Learning Theory. Some strengths include:Accounts and allows for cognitive processesUses both experimental and non-experimental dataDoes explain a large number of behavioursSome weakness include:Doesn't explain all behaviour - how can someone still act in a way they've seen being punished?Doesn't explain differences. People brought up together act very differently.Relies on subjective perceptions. What one person might see as punishment another might see as reward.
It's strength is that it fits the facts, and you can see it in action (resistant germs, breeding of animals), and we know how it works (genetics). There is no specific weakness. You can argue for missing links but that's mostly silly. There are no facts that contradict it.

The four approaches to studying language development are nativist, behaviorist, interactionist, and cognitive. Nativist perspective suggests that language acquisition is innate, behaviorist perspective emphasizes learning through reinforcement, interactionist perspective highlights social interactions as key for language development, and cognitive perspective focuses on how cognition and language development are intertwined.
social learning theory and reinforcement theory are both dealing in observation and cognitive factors. social learning theory, learning occur without a change in behavior,while in reinforcement theory learning occur with a change in behavior
