3 Factors that inhibit language acquisition during early to middle childhood Answer: 1. Mental
Growth
2. Emotional Growth
3. Social Growth
Mental Growth Answer: As children grow mentally, they expand their ability to retain
information. If this mental growth is slowed, words could be more difficult to learn and
memorize
Emotional Growth Answer: As children come in touch with expressing their feelings, 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 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.
