In this video I introduce language acquisition as a type of learning that isn't explained well by the behaviorist principles we saw in the unit on learning theory. In the next few videos we'll be looking at linguistics and language acquisition in more detail and then considering how language relates to thought. We begin with Noam Chomsky's review of B.F. Skinner's Verbal Behavior, which revealed the limits of the behaviorist approach. Next I introduce Chomsky's idea of a Language Acquisition Device that enables humans to learn language almost automatically when exposed to it.
