Correct Answer - Option 2 : Conditioning process

Language is a system of symbols and rules that is used for meaningful communication. A language uses symbols, which are sounds, gestures, or written characters that represent objects, actions, events, and ideas.

  • Words may refer to specific objects or actions or they may be symbolic representations for concepts.
  • Skinner believed that language is acquired through principles of conditioning, including association, imitation, and reinforcement.
  • Children modify their language through imitation and reinforcement, such as parental praise and being understood. 
  • Conditioning has been defined as a form of learning in which the capacity of eliciting a response is transferred from one stimulus to another.
  • In the conditioning process, an unconditioned stimulus is given to a person. This stimulus causes a reflex on its own.

Thus, it is concluded that children learn new words for specific objects mostly by conditioning process.
