Noam Chomsky published a devastating critique of Skinner's theory of language development in his book "Verbal Behavior" in 1959. Chomsky argued that Skinner's focus on reinforcement and conditioning could not fully explain the complexity and creativity of human language use, and proposed an alternative theory of language development based on innate linguistic structures and rules.
