Embodied attention and word learning by toddlers.
Many theories of early word learning begin with the uncertainty inherent to learning a word from its co-occurrence with a visual scene. However, the relevant visual scene for infant word learning is neither from the adult theorist's view nor the mature partner's view, but is rather from the learner's personal view. Here we show that when 18-month old infants interacted with objects in play with...

متن کاملCan English-learning toddlers acquire and generalize a novel spatial word?
English-learning toddlers of 21 and 22 months were taught a novel spatial word for four actions resulting in a tight-fit spatial relation, a relation that is lexically marked in Korean but not English (Choi & Bowerman, 1991). Toddlers in a control condition viewed the same tight-fit action events without the novel word. Toddlers' comprehension of the novel word was tested in a preferential-look...
متن کاملNouns mark category relations: toddlers' and preschoolers' word-learning biases.
Recent research suggests that preschool children approach the task of word learning equipped with implicit biases that lead them to prefer some possible meanings over others. The noun-category bias proposes that children favor category relations when interpreting the meaning of novel nouns. In the series of experiments reported here, we develop a stringent test of the noun-category bias and rev...
متن کاملMemory Constraints in Infants' Statistical Word Learning
Recent research indicates that infants use statistical learning to map linguistic labels to objects in the world (Smith & Yu, 2008). Here, we extend this work by examining how statistical word learning may be constrained or facilitated by memory development. Two groups of infants, 16and 20-month-olds, were presented with a crosssituational word learning task. Half of the object-label pairings o...
