129.252.237.170 Comments Behavioral interventions for spoken language are based in Skinner's work on the principals of learning.
Interventions are direct and systematic.
Specific spoken language skills are identified and activities are designed to target these skills. The interventions used include the techniques of modeling, shaping, and reinforcement. In contrast, the nativist interventions for spoken language are based in the work of Chomsky. Interventions stress the value of discovery learning and de-emphasize the importance of direct tinstruction. One major technique used by nativists is that of expansion.
