The four approaches to studying language development are nativist, behaviorist, interactionist, and cognitive. Nativist perspective suggests that language acquisition is innate, behaviorist perspective emphasizes learning through reinforcement, interactionist perspective highlights social interactions as key for language development, and cognitive perspective focuses on how cognition and language development are intertwined.
behaviourist
A behaviorist is a psychologist, so you would obtain your degrees in psychology.
Take him to a behaviourist, he clearly has issues with other dogs.
A behaviorist is someone who studies behavior, often through observation and experimentation, in order to understand and explain how and why organisms behave in certain ways. Behaviorists focus on the relationship between an individual’s behavior and the environmental factors that influence it.
Both the behaviorist and biological perspectives focus on understanding human behavior. The behaviorist perspective emphasizes learned behaviors through environmental influences, while the biological perspective emphasizes the role of genetics, brain structure, and physiological processes in behavior. Both perspectives acknowledge the complex interplay between nature and nurture in shaping behavior.
Chomsky argued that language is an innate cognitive ability with a universal grammar that guides language development, while Skinner believed that language is learned through conditioning and reinforcement. Chomsky's theory emphasizes the role of biology and genetics in language acquisition, whereas Skinner's theory focuses on the importance of external stimuli and environmental factors.
In terms of child language acquisition ... Chomskyan linguists argue that: - Children learn language too easily. It should take them longer for the whole behaviourist learning process - Children have innate knowledge of language - Children produce incorrect utterances that they haven't heard anywhere before and so can't have imitated. In terms of second language acquisition ... - Learners make mistakes that are not grammatical in their first language either. Again, they can't have imitated this. - Learners learn some things easily but some things, no amount of imitation and reinforcement will help them learn Among other things... No-one really believes in behaviourist learning theory anymore.
The biological approach is nature oriented, as our behavious is controlled by our genes and genetic makeup wheras behaviourist appraoch is nurture, they believe our behaviour is learnt form our environment.

Edward Thorndike was an American psychologist known for his work in animal behavior and learning theory. He is often considered a pioneer in the field of educational psychology, particularly for his research on the laws of learning and how behavior is shaped by consequences. Thorndike is best known for his theory of connectionism, which focused on the relationship between stimuli and responses in forming associations and learning.
