This video talks about second language acquisition through the behaviourist theory. As well as talking about Skinner's views on language acquisition (especially through learning a second language), the video also discusses Chomsky's opposing opinions about the way we acquire language.
This video shows an experiment set up by a cognitive scientist in his own home to find out information about how his own child acquires language from birth to 3 years old. This experiment took place so he and his team could generally find out how children learn to speak, by gathering a great amount of evidence.
In this video typical language development stages are shown from the age of 6 months to 5 years. At each age, the video discusses what types of words the child can say including their range of vocabulary. It states approximately how many words a child knows at each age. It also discusses a child's ability to structure sentences as they start to combine words together. There are also some video examples to present these stages; ranging from a baby at only 15 months old to a 4 year old. I have learnt what children of different ages typically understand and how they learn language overall - generally, from their parents by interacting with them and repeating words and combinations of words that they hear.
