N-S: Acquisition, Learning, or Development of Language? Skinners Verbal Behavior Revisited (UpLoaded), Learning, or Development of Language? Skinners Verbal Behavior Revisited and Self-Determination, Self-Regulation, and the Brain: Autonomy Improves Performance by Enhancing Neuroaffective Responsiveness to Self-Regulation Failure (UpLoaded)

This week you are developing your understanding of language acquisition and how theories can support the differing aspects of this acquisition.

In your initial post,

Apply skeptical inquiry to a brief discussion about why language acquisition is an important area for scholars and educators to understand when developing learning opportunities.
Choose and define three new vocabulary terms from the weeks readings and explain your interest in these concepts.
Discuss how additional factors [self-regulation (N-S)] might affect language acquisition.
Apply the concept of language acquisition to your own academic success. Has your own language development affected your success as a student? As an employee? How? Based on the resources and your current knowledge, do you believe you could develop areas of language acquisition, personally, that would be beneficial to you, your loved ones, or your friends?
