45
Q

what does the behaviorist theory of language propose?

A

uses imitation and reinforcers to learn language

46
Q

what is a limitation of the behaviorist theory of language?

A

kids will coin their own phrases based on salient features

information processing

71
Q

analyze cognition info. it’s cognition such as perception, attention, memory, categorization
