    1. AHow children make the correct assumptions about language despite an infinite number of hypotheses that could be made
    2. BHow children break continuous speech streams into meaningful units
    3. CWhy children lose the ability to discriminate sounds in non-target languages
    4. DThere is a period in which children will no longer be able to achieve a near-native proficiency
  4. 4What is the main issue with Behaviourism?
    1. ALanguage cannot be learned solely through imitation and rewards alone
    2. BRats don't perform like children attempting to acquire language
    3. CDoesn't explain why CPH exists
