What is an example of Skinner's operant conditioning theory of language development? - ✔✔A

✔✔True, Chomsky said all are born with a "language acquisition device," or function in the brain
that helps them to learn language
True or False, Ms. Phan teaches first grade. At the beginning of mathematics, she gives each
student a pencil and piece of paper. She then projects a multistep subtraction problem for all of
the students to solve on their piece of paper while working quietly. Is this an effective strategy for

✔✔Humanism because the theory of development is student centered. Lessons are centered
around the students and their interests, and the teacher acts as a facilitator. With the open
seminar, Dr. Williams allows the students to choose the topics and share their opinions. It is
