Learning Language

Some experts emphasize the importance of adult reinforcement of early speech, others suggest that language

learning is innate, biologically wired, while others believe it to be a biproduct of social impulses. Reflect on this

week’s video, Out of the Mouths of Babes. Which language development theory does this video emphasize, and how

can you tell? To support your answer, provide an example of one of the experiments conducted and explain how it

fits in to the learning theory process you identified. What position do you take on the matter of language acquisition,

and based on that position, would you advocate that parents read to children even before they start to talk? Explain

your rationale.

1) Consider the image below. A scientist tells you that the formula shown is the essence of that shell you picked up on the beach as a souvenir of what had been the best day ever. How would Goethe (or any Romantic) respond? 2) What influences on Freud can you find in Schopenhauer and Nietzsche? 3) Defend the thesis that Kierkegaard would define existentialism as “Never let other people do your thinking for you.” 4) Defend the thesis that Nietzsche’s many bold statements are not intended to be taken literally, but are just a method to provoke you into thinking for yourself.
