Which language development theory does this video emphasize? How can you tell?
The video has focused on communication theory and presents it as one of an effective methods for helping children. It states that children have a desire for communicating and they imitate words and even sounds. Children learning starts from verbal language.
To support your answer, provide an example of one of the experiments conducted.
When a same word is spoken in front of the child he will ultimately try to speak it. After several attempts he would succeed in pronouncing the word. This is a common experiment used for determining the effectiveness of communication theory.
Explain how this fits into the learning theory process you identified.
I think children can learn and imitate everything. They not only learn to speak the words but also develop personalities that are reflection of their parents. Child of an angry father often becomes angry. It also suggests that environment and people play significant role in learning process.
What is your position on language acquisition? Based on your position, would you advocate that parents read to their children even before they start to talk?
I am analyzing situation from a therapist’s perspective who can provide guidance to the parents for improving the learning of their children by adopting right methods. Based on my position I would advocate the parents to provide a positive and friendly learning environment to their kid. I would suggest them to engage the child in talking because it builds a positive learning attitude CITATION LAM01 \l 1033 (Mooney and Edwards).

I agree with the post because it gives a good answer for the question. I agree that children learn from communications and they are highly responsive to the sounds, words and language. The post rightly points out how a particular environment promotes specific learning. I agree that family settings and learning environment is created by parents that improves of undermines learning capability of children. I also agree that it is important for the parents to realize that child will learn what they hear in their interaction with the parents.
