THE DEVELOPMENT OF LINGUISTIC INTELLIGENCE IN STUDENTS: AGE CHARACTERISTICS AND PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS
Keywords:
linguistic intelligence, language development, cognitive psychology, educational psychology, age characteristicsAbstract
The development of linguistic intelligence in students represents a complex interplay of cognitive, social, and psychological factors that manifest differently across various age groups. This study examines the formation of linguistic intelligence in educational settings, exploring how age-specific characteristics and psychological determinants influence language acquisition and verbal competency. Through analysis of contemporary research, this paper identifies key developmental patterns, critical periods, and psychological mechanisms that shape linguistic intelligence from early childhood through adolescence. The findings suggest that linguistic intelligence development is not merely a linear process but involves distinct phases characterized by unique cognitive capabilities, social influences, and psychological readiness factors. Understanding these developmental patterns is crucial for educators and psychologists working to optimize language learning environments and support students' linguistic growth.
