Gone to the Dogs-

It supports nurture because she still cannot really communicate by speaking and moves, drinks, eats, and acts like a dog. She was born a human and basically became a dog.
2. Which language theory is supported by this view: B.F. SKinner or Noam Chomsky? What items from this case support this theory?
B.F. Skinner's theory is supported because feral children do not really have the ability to communicate using language with other humans]]> 2017-02-01 16:00:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ethanmor5999/i5incdoc3iiu/wish/150877144
