Pinker critiques which model in his work with Alan Prince?
Behaviorist model
Developmental model
Connectionist model
Computational model
Answer
Connectionist model is critiqued by Pinker in his work with Alan Prince. This model posits that language is acquired through gradual learning and reinforcement, with no innate knowledge or rules. Pinker argues that this model cannot account for the rapid and effortless acquisition of language by children, and that it fails to explain the existence of universal grammatical principles.
