CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -A prominent linguist Noam Chomsky claims that there is a innate properties in the child’s mind called LAD (Language Acquisition Devise. He believes that child’s mind is not the tabula rasa. He said that LAD is the facility of mind which allows to acquire language.

Detailed explanation-2: -The mentalist learning theory emphasizes the role of the mind in language acquisition by arguing that humans are born with an innate and biological capacity to learn languages. This theory was spearheaded by Noam Chomsky, and arose in response to B. F. Skinner’s radical behaviorism.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mentalism-Noam Chomsky’s mentalism. Noam Chomsky believes that the human ability for language acquisition and analysis is the result of human evolution. It is this innate Language Acquisition Device that allows any child to acquire any language, even with minimal help and no formal teaching.

Detailed explanation-4: -Behaviourism is the view that preferences, beliefs, and other mental states in social-scientific theories are nothing but constructs re-describing people’s behaviour. Mentalism is the view that they capture real phenomena, on a par with the unobserv-ables in science, such as electrons and electromagnetic fields.

Detailed explanation-5: -Universal grammar (UG), in modern linguistics, is the theory of the innate biological component of the language faculty, usually credited to Noam Chomsky. The basic postulate of UG is that there are innate constraints on what the grammar of a possible human language could be.
