Chomsky would attribute Susan's quick acquisition of grammatical rules to her "language acquisition device".

The language acquisition device is a speculative instrument in the mind that helps youngsters rapidly learn and comprehend dialect. Noam Chomsky presented the theory that the LAD represent the quick speed at which kids appear to learn dialect and its rules. Later advanced into Chomsky's more prominent hypothesis of universal grammar.
