Abstract

This paper aims to reveal new productive approaches in the improvement of the learning outcomes, seen from the perspective of behaviorist theory. As such, it has been based upon analyzing of the gathered data using of a sampling made of four children aged 4/6/8/ using comparative-empiric methods of research. Cognitive processes in learning seen through behaviorist and mentalist theory with the focus on innateness and Rationalist theory (otherwise called Cognitive theory), and Interactionism, are some of these theories, which the description of the phenomenon has been explained. Of these, behaviorist theory and mentalist theory are mainly applicable to the acquisition of native languages while the rest can account for foreign language acquisition.
