Stimulus and response in language acquisition. Similarly in early childhood language acquisition. Stages of language acquisition theory. That s why language acquisition cannot take place through habit formation since language learners are thrown between stimulus and response chain for language is too far complicated to be learned in such a matter especially given the brief time available.
The stimulus is an important factor in learning. However this language acquisition theory logical as it may be fails to explain how new phrases and new words form since it s all about repeating and mimicking what people hear from others. Actually behaviorism has its pitfalls although it is a fact that learning process is for the most part.
