Explanation:
From the above we have each given example from bothering theories, the operant conditioning and Chromsky's inborn universal grammar theory.
The theory of operation conditioning by B. F Skinner suggests that children acquire language by reinforcement; in other words the rewards they get from language encourages them. He grouped them into stages which we stated above
Chromsky's inborn universal theory on the other hand suggests that children possess inborn universal language capacity and with the right nuture they would produce language. He stated that individuals begin with noun rather than verbs and adjectives and group language development into stages ascertained listed above.
