Emergentist theorists argue that language is acquired through both innate abilities and social interactions, and that neural circuits supporting language emerge gradually in response to language learning experiences. This fits with the assertion made by the psychology professor. Behaviorists would likely argue that language is solely learned through reinforcement and conditioning, while nativists would argue that language is innate and pre-programmed in the brain. Evolutionary theorists would focus on the origins and development of language throughout human evolution.
