The main schools of thought in second language acquisition are behaviorism, cognitive psychology, and sociocultural theory. Behaviorism emphasizes the role of reinforcement and conditioning in learning language, cognitive psychology focuses on mental processes like memory and problem-solving, and sociocultural theory looks at how social interaction and cultural context impact language learning.
Noam Chomsky revolutionized the field of psychology with his theory of universal grammar, which proposed that humans are born with an innate ability to understand language. His work challenged behaviorist perspectives and emphasized the importance of cognitive processes in language development and acquisition. Chomsky's ideas had a significant impact on the study of psycholinguistics and cognitive psychology.
Woodworth: “The Psychology deals with the activities of the individual in relation to his environment.” Skinner: “Psychology is the science of behavior and experience.” Munns: “Psychology today concerns with the scientific investigation of behavior.” Crow & Crow: “Psychology is the study of human behavior and human relationships.” John B Watson: "The acquisition of information useful to control of behavior."
