Aunque la AC no puede confundirse con un indicador de mayor o menor grado de desempeño comunicativo (Boorom, Goolsby y Ram-sey, 1998), sí es cierto que un nivel bajo de AC es condición necesaria para desarrollar las capacidades comunicativas, aunque no sea sufi-ciente. Así, las personas con niveles altos de AC tienen problemas para presentar sus opiniones, para participar en discusiones o para ser miembros de un equipo de trabajo. Una posible explicación es que tienden, en esas situaciones, a enfocarse más en sus dificultades y su miedo a la comunicación que en el tema, argumento o informa-ción que se ha de comunicar. Para estos sujetos, las formas usuales de entrenamiento en capacidades de comunicación son inefectivas e inadecuadas (Shanahan, 2011). Así, una actividad docente que inclu-ya la presentación de un trabajo delante de sus compañeros es la forma más rápida de empeorar un problema de aprensión comunicativa. En este sentido, Fordham y Gabbin (1996) ponen de manifiesto que, para los estudiantes con niveles de AC por encima del normal, las actividades “usuales” no tienen efecto y que es necesario prestar atención a la reducción de la aprensión, a la vez que al desarrollo de las capacidades de comunicación.
