According to "The Complete Sign Language Acquisition Theory Course 2026: From Zero to Expert!", which of the following best describes the Chomskyan Universal Grammar (UG) perspective as applied to sign language acquisition, and how it differentiates from earlier behaviorist models?
UG posits that language acquisition is primarily driven by imitation and reinforcement of observable behaviors, with sign language being learned through visual mimicry of spoken language gestures.
UG suggests an innate, biologically endowed linguistic faculty that predisposes humans to acquire language, including sign languages, through exposure to a linguistic environment, focusing on underlying grammatical structures rather than surface-level articulation.
UG proposes that language acquisition is a process of statistical learning, where children identify patterns in the input and develop a lexicon and grammar accordingly, with sign languages being acquired by simply processing visual input without any innate linguistic predisposition.
UG emphasizes the role of social interaction and caregiver scaffolding in language development, arguing that sign language acquisition is purely a product of the child's immediate social milieu and the explicit teaching of signs.

"The Complete Sign Language Acquisition Theory Course 2026: From Zero to Expert!" discusses the concept of "critical period" in sign language acquisition. Which of the following scenarios would most strongly support the hypothesis of a critical period for sign language acquisition, according to the course's expert-level analysis?
A group of adult learners who have been studying sign language for 5 years show a faster rate of vocabulary acquisition than a group of toddlers exposed to the language for the same duration.
A child who is exposed to a fully developed sign language from birth to age 5 demonstrates native-like fluency, while a child exposed from age 10 onwards achieves only functional proficiency.
Individuals who were deafened before acquiring spoken language and were subsequently exposed to sign language in early childhood (e.g., before age 7) consistently exhibit superior phonological and grammatical competence compared to those exposed later.
An adult who learns a sign language in their late 30s through intensive study achieves a higher level of grammatical accuracy than a child exposed to the language from age 2.

In the context of "The Complete Sign Language Acquisition Theory Course 2026: From Zero to Expert!", how does the "Interaction Hypothesis" as proposed by Michael Long, specifically apply to the acquisition of complex grammatical structures in sign languages, differentiating it from purely input-based theories?
The Interaction Hypothesis posits that modified input (e.g., simplification of signs, repetition, clarification requests) during interaction is crucial for acquisition, as it makes the input more comprehensible and draws the learner's attention to grammatical forms.
The Interaction Hypothesis emphasizes the role of explicit grammatical instruction and correction in sign language acquisition, stating that learners need direct feedback on their signing errors to progress.
The Interaction Hypothesis suggests that learners acquire sign language grammar primarily through observing and imitating the signing of fluent users, with minimal need for direct interaction.
The Interaction Hypothesis argues that sign language grammar is acquired through an innate mechanism that automatically processes linguistic data, making interaction unnecessary for grammatical development.
