I fail to understand your point here. Surely all the symbols have to be mutually agreed upon beforehand, and this little puzzle would have no validity in Chinese-- or, perhaps I have missed your point.

Also I disagree completely that behavioural techniques cannot work with language acquisition. They can and they do, though it is very intensive and specific work.
