A recent study from psychologist Sarah Kucker at Oklahoma State University suggests shyness can
influence a child's performance in language tests,depending on the level of social interaction
required to complete the test.
Shy children tend to keep quiet in everyday life,including communicating with others.The study
points out that the behavior can make judging a child's language abilities more challenging since shy
children find it harder to verbally engage with testers (that's when children are required to speak out)
than during less socially demanding tests.
The research by Sarah Kucker was published in the Journal of Speech,Language,and Hearing
Research,and involved 122 children between the ages of 17 and 42 months.Each child underwent a
series of three language tasks that required different levels of social interaction:a looking task,a pointing
task,and a verbal task.In each,the children were asked to find a known object from a set of pictures.
Parents reported their child's shyness in an early childhood behavior survey.
The results showed significant differences in children's performance across the tasks depending on
shyness.Shyer children did worse in the verbal task than the less-shy children of the same age.
However,all children performed well in the pointing task independent of their shyness level.The looking
task produced more complicated results,meaning that shyer children were occasionally more accurate
(精确的)but less likely to respond.
"A child's shyness could strongly impact how they will behave in language tasks,"said Kucker.
"When children are given language ability tests,testers should take into account the child's shyness
level,perhaps using tasks that are less socially demanding for them,such as pointing tasks instead of
verbal ones.”
Kucker believes recognizing the impact of shyness will help to ensure language tests are more
effective and provide a better understanding of a child's language development.
