right basically its a posh way of saying discuss the nature v nurture dibate its asking you to talk about theorists such as vygotsky who say you are born with your abilities he talks about language and how we are born able to speak any language we here. nature theorists (bio and innate) believe we are born able to do things like its pre programned or in genes etc other theorists such as bruner believe we have to be taught learn from our environment people around us and experiances etc the ones that believe that are nuture theorists (cognitive models of learning) these ones also believe we go through stages of thinking etc piaget's theory about "schemas" for example.
hope this helps
