Abstract
This article explores the psychological factors that influence vocabulary development in children. Vocabulary acquisition is a crucial aspect of language development and cognitive growth. The study examines how elements such as memory capacity, attention span, emotional well-being, motivation, and parental interaction play a significant role in shaping a child's lexical richness. Special emphasis is placed on early childhood, where rapid language learning occurs, and how psychological support and educational environment contribute to the effective expansion of vocabulary. The article also highlights the importance of considering individual differences and developmental stages in designing effective teaching strategies for vocabulary enrichment.
