Learning new words II: Phonotactic probability in verb learning.
Phonotactic probability, a measure of the likelihood of occurrence of a sound sequence, appears to facilitate noun learning (H. L. Storkel, 2001). Nouns and verbs, however, tend to differ in rate of acquisition, indicating that word-learning mechanisms may differ across grammatical class. The purpose of the current study was to examine the effect of phonotactic probability on verb learning. Thi...
متن کاملReal Words, Possible Words, and New Words
Phonologists and psycholinguists draw a three-way distinction amongst real words, possible words, and impossible words.The distinction between real words and possible words provides the foundation for lexical decision experiments. The distinction between possible words and impossible words reveals implicit cognitive generalizations about words in a language, and thereby contributes to the under...
متن کاملDifferences between written and spoken input in learning new words
We trained adult learners the meanings of rare words to test hypotheses about modality effects in learning word forms. These hypotheses are that (1) written (orthographic) training leads to a better representation of word form than phonological training, that (2) recognition memory for a word is partly dependent upon congruence between training and testing modality (written vs. spoken) but that...
متن کاملContextual diversity facilitates learning new words in the classroom
In the field of word recognition and reading, it is commonly assumed that frequently repeated words create more accessible memory traces than infrequently repeated words, thus capturing the word-frequency effect. Nevertheless, recent research has shown that a seemingly related factor, contextual diversity (defined as the number of different contexts [e.g., films] in which a word appears), is a ...
متن کاملLearning New Words from Spontaneous Speech: A Project Summary
This research develops methods that enable spoken language systems to detect and correct their own errors, automatically extending themselves to incorporate new words. The occurrence of unknown or out-of-vocabulary words is one of the major problems frustrating the use of automatic speech understanding systems in real world tasks. Novel words cause recognition errors and often result in recogni...
