associationist account of language learning - Correct Answer associations between verbal behaviors and
rewards through operant conditioning
four problems with associationist account - Correct Answer stimulus independence, productivity,
systematicity, novelty
combinatoric - Correct Answer phrase structure rules are defined and can be recombined in open-
ended ways
cognitive/Chomskian account of language - Correct Answer use abstract combinatoric rules that are
largely innate (universal grammar)
Chomsky's two critical observations of language - Correct Answer language has a unique pattern of
universality, rules of language are combinatoric and made using highly abstract categories
poverty of the stimulus argument - Correct Answer language must be innate because children are given
little explicit language knowledge, but have a complex output
universal grammar hypothesis - Correct Answer all languages have an innate grammar template that
allows for locally specified variation
Nicaraguan sign language - Correct Answer youngest signers were most likely to use combinatoric
patterns
functional level of language - Correct Answer mapping sounds to meanings
algorithmic level of language - Correct Answer phrase structure trees
, physical level of language - Correct Answer primary auditory cortex, Wernicke's area, Broca's area,
primary motor cortex (M1)
Wernicke's area - Correct Answer temporal lobe, semantic region
primary auditory cortex - Correct Answer temporal lobe
Broca's area - Correct Answer frontal lobe, syntactic region
motor cortex - Correct Answer frontal lobe
Broca's aphasia - Correct Answer lesions produce speech that is ungrammatical and lacks fluency
Wernicke's aphasia - Correct Answer lesions produce difficulties understanding speech, complex and
fluent speech that's incoherent
stimulus independence - Correct Answer people say things outside the context that it was originally
learned in
novelty - Correct Answer a person can understand a sentence they've never heard before
productivity - Correct Answer there's no upper bound to the number of possible sentences a language
can express
systematicity - Correct Answer a person reliably knows groups of phrases in a language (eg, we know
both mom loves daughter and daughter loves mom)
arguments for the innateness of language - Correct Answer language is universal, rules of language are
formed using abstract combinatoric rules
