Developmental changes in cross‐situational word learning: The inverse effect of initial accuracy
SA Fitneva, MH Christiansen - Cognitive Science, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Intuitively, the accuracy of initial word‐referent mappings should be positively correlated with
the outcome of learning. Yet recent evidence suggests an inverse effect of initial accuracy in …

Cross-situational statistical word learning in young children
Recent empirical work has highlighted the potential role of cross-situational statistical word
learning in children's early vocabulary development. In the current study, we tested 5-to 7 …

What have we learned from 15 years of research on cross-situational word learning? A focused review
In 2007 and 2008, Yu and Smith published their seminal studies on cross-situational word
learning (CSWL) in adults and infants, showing that word-object-mappings can be acquired …

The temporal structure of naming events differentially affects children's and adults' cross-situational word learning
To acquire novel words, learners often need to integrate information about word meanings
across ambiguous learning events distributed in time. How does the temporal structure of …

The unrealized promise of infant statistical word–referent learning
Recent theory and experiments offer a new solution regarding how infant learners may
break into word learning by using cross-situational statistics to find the underlying word …

Event-related potential studies of cross-situational word learning in four-year-old children
H Mangardich, MA Sabbagh - Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2022 - Elsevier
Young children learn word-referent links in cross-situational learning paradigms despite
uncertainty as to a given word's correct referent on individual exposures. However, the …

Mechanisms of cross-situational learning: Behavioral and computational evidence
Word learning happens in everyday contexts with many words and many potential referents
for those words in view at the same time. It is challenging for young learners to find the …

Fast mapping word meanings across trials: Young children forget all but their first guess
Do children learn a new word by tracking co-occurrences between words and referents
across multiple instances (“cross-situational learning” models), or is word-learning a “one …

Looking in the wrong direction correlates with more accurate word learning
SA Fitneva, MH Christiansen - Cognitive Science, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
Previous research on lexical development has aimed to identify the factors that enable
accurate initial word‐referent mappings based on the assumption that the accuracy of initial …
