Abstract

Children who struggle to learn at school typically have poorer social competence. This thesis showed that poor language skills also negatively impacts on social competence. Furthermore, cognitive abilities such as attention and memory were shown to disrupt children’s ability to learn, which in turn is related to poor social competence
