1Who argued that the ability to learn a language is innate and uniquely human, as only humans have a Language Acquisition Device (LAD)?
- AHayes and Hayes (1951)
- BPremack and Premack (1966)
- CChomsky (1965)
2Despite these claims, many researchers have tried to demonstrate that animals can also acquire language. Which two attempted to find this?
- AHayes and Hayes (1951) raised a chimpanzee called Vicki in a human household and rewarded her whenever she made any noises that sounded like speech. After considerable training, she mastered just four words; mama, papa, cup, up, but these could only be understood by the family.
- BBryan (1963) raised a chimpanzee called Vicki in a human household and rewarded her whenever she made any noises that sounded like speech. After considerable training, she mastered just four words; mama, papa, cup, up, but these could only be understood by the family.
- CPremack and Premack (1966) taught a chimpanzee called Sarah to use different coloured and shaped chips to represent words. She acquired 130 signs and could make sentences up to 8 units long. She could not spontaneously ask questions.
- DGardner and Gardner (1969) taught a chimpanzee called Sarah to use different coloured and shaped chips to represent words. She acquired 130 signs and could make sentences up to 8 units long. She could not spontaneously ask questions.
- EHayes and Hayes (1951) taught a chimpanzee called Sarah to use different coloured and shaped chips to represent words. She acquired 130 signs and could make sentences up to 8 units long. She could not spontaneously ask questions.
3Gardner and Gardner concluded that vocal language was not an appropriate method to use in their own research on language preferring to use a form of sign language.
- ATrue
- BFalse
4What were the aims of Gardner and Gardner's study?
- ATo teach a chimp to speak English.
- BTo investigate if a chimp could be taught to communicate using a human language.
- CTo raise a chimp like a child to encourage a natural acquisition of language like a child would.
5What was the name of the chimp in the study, and roughly how old were they when she arrived at the Gardner's laboratory?
- AWashoe, 10-16 months.
- BWashoe, 8-14 months.
- CLoulis, 6-12 months.
