Social Influences Studies have found that being a toddler of low socioeconomic status can actually
prevent a child from realizing his or her genetically-endowed cognitive potential. Also, exposure to toxic
substances, microbes, environmental stimuli, stressors, etc. can affect development. (Entin, 2015)
Cultural Influences Culture can influence language development and vocabulary depending on how
much communication is being made and what topics are being discussed.
