Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research suggests that the quality of communication between a child and their primary caregiver plays a significant role in language development. Children from families with low socioeconomic status may experience less quality communication due to a lack of resources, time constraints, and other stressors. This can result in language deficits that may impact academic achievement later in life. Nutritional deficits and genetic factors may also play a role, but the evidence suggests that communication quality is a significant factor. Attachment style may also be a factor, but it is not as strongly associated with language deficits as communication quality.
