How does observational learning contribute to language development?
Observational Learning doesn't influence language development because it is a biological process that unfolds naturally irrespective of external influences.
Observational learning inhibits language development by promoting mimicry over unique linguistic outputs.
Observational learning primarily works on non-verbal communication skills like body language rather than verbal ones such as speaking..
Observational learning enables children to imitate sounds and words they hear from others thus aiding language acquisition.
