Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The slogan "Baby hear, baby say" suggests that language development is based on the idea that babies learn language through their environment and experiences, which aligns with the empiricist theory.

The other theories listed, such as Freudian psychoanalytic and Piagetian, do not focus specifically on language development, and the nativist theory emphasizes innate abilities for language rather than the role of experience.
