Kids and adolescents find joy in learning new words: Study
A new research from Royal Holloway University, led by Professor Saloni Krishnan, suggests that children and adolescents, aged 10 to 18, derive intrinsic joy from learning new words. The study involved 345 participants who deduced word meanings from sentence contexts across 40 trials.
Notably, participants reported positive emotions like happiness and excitement during word acquisition, highlighting the motivational aspects of language learning. The findings, published in Developmental Science, underscore the importance of leveraging these emotional rewards to enhance educational strategies, particularly in neurodivergent populations like children with dyslexia.
