  4. (4) Mimal chhungril lam theihna

Solution.

CBSE answer: (3)

Answer: (3) Naupangte chu tawngkaa thil kan hrilh fiah hmain an thil lo hriatthiam tawh naah thui tak a innghat.

  1. The cognitive theory (Piaget) holds that thought comes first: a child must grasp a concept before putting it into words.
  2. Reward and punishment (1) is behaviourism (Skinner), learning through social interaction (2) is Vygotsky, and an inborn capacity (4) is Chomsky.

Trap: (2) is a valid theory too, but it is the social-interactionist one, not the cognitive one.
