Every single person learns language at a different pace and it is especially seen in youngsters and now a new study has found why it happens. The research conducted by the University of East Anglia investigated the act by studying where toddlers look when they learn new words. It finds that children with larger vocabularies looked quickly towards objects when learning new words. Meanwhile, children who knew fewer words looked back and forth between objects and took more time.
The research team say that their findings could help identify children with delays in language development at an earlier stage. Importantly, it means these children could be given earlier support to build their best vocabulary before starting school.
