Simultaneous Noun and Category Learning via Cross-Situational Statistics
Previous research shows that people can acquire an impressive number of word-referent pairs after viewing a series of ambiguous trials by accumulating co-occurrence statistics (e.g., Yu & Smith, 2006). The present study extends the cross-situational word learning paradigm, which has previously dealt only with noun acquisition, and shows that humans can concurrently acquire nouns and adjectives ...
متن کاملRapid word learning under uncertainty via cross-situational statistics.
There are an infinite number of possible word-to-word pairings in naturalistic learning environments. Previous proposals to solve this mapping problem have focused on linguistic, social, representational, and attentional constraints at a single moment. This article discusses a cross-situational learning strategy based on computing distributional statistics across words, across referents, and, m...
متن کاملGavagai Is as Gavagai Does: Learning Nouns and Verbs From Cross-Situational Statistics
Learning to map words onto their referents is difficult, because there are multiple possibilities for forming these mappings. Cross-situational learning studies have shown that word-object mappings can be learned across multiple situations, as can verbs when presented in a syntactic context. However, these previous studies have presented either nouns or verbs in ambiguous contexts and thus bypa...
متن کاملActive Cross-situational Learning
Human adults can acquire word-referent pairs from a short series of individually ambiguous situations containing multiple words and referents (Yu & Smith, 2007). Cross-situational statistical learning is sufficient for learners to passively acquire word-object pairs, as long as words co-occur with their correct referent multiple times in different contexts. However, learners in the real world a...
متن کاملLearning Hierarchical Labels through Cross-situational Learning
An increasing body of research has demonstrated that human learners are able to use co-occurrences among words and objects to form word-object associations (e.g., Yu & Smith, 2007). In this study, we further investigated learners’ ability to use statistical information to learn labels at different hierarchical levels. Participants were presented with objects and words in ambiguous learning tria...
