3 Factors that inhibit language acquisition during early to middle childhood -correct answer-
1. Mental Growth
2. Emotional Growth

their language usually expands. If a child has inhibitions (restraint) or emotional problems,
this could slow their need or will to acquire language.
Social Growth -correct answer-As children learn to interact with other children, additional
language becomes necessary. If this social growth is slowed, and there is less interest or
exchange, language growth may be inhibited.
