Young children gain access to language in well-documented stages, from cooing and babbling to an explosion of words at about 18 months. B. F. Skinner thought that language acquisition relied on operant conditioning and reinforcement, whereas Noam Chomsky believes it is an interaction between genetic coding and the laws of nature. Exposure to language is absolutely critical in the early life of a child. In fact, research has shown that the wide range of phonemes the baby can respond to is pared away and only a subset of sounds present in the native language will be retained.
