CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -A theory developed by Noam Chomsky who believed that every child has a Language Acquisition Device. The LAD is a structure in the brain that infants are born with, allowing them to quickly learn and understand language as they mature.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Language Acquisition Device, or LAD, is part of Chomsky’s acquisition hypothesis. The LAD is a system of principles that children are born with that helps them learn language, and accounts for the order in which children learn structures, and the mistakes they make as they learn.

Detailed explanation-3: -Chomsky concluded that children must have an inborn faculty for language acquisition. According to this theory, the process is biologically determined-the human species has evolved a brain whose neural circuits contain linguistic information at birth.

Detailed explanation-4: -Noam Chomsky was not a psychologist or originally planning on being part of this field. His chosen profession was that of a linguist. He became famous for investigating various kinds of formal languages and whether it was possible to capture key properties of human language.

Detailed explanation-5: -Noam Chomsky developed the language acquisition theory in order to explain this phenomenon. According to Chomsky, the ability to learn languages is an innate skill. Children are born with a language learning tool that he called a language acquisition device.
