Statistics learned are statistics forgotten: Children's retention and retrieval of cross-situational word learning.
HA Vlach, CA DeBrock - Journal of Experimental Psychology …, 2019 - psycnet.apa.org
Children are able to resolve the referential ambiguity of learning new words by tracking co-
occurrence probabilities across moments in time, a behavior termed cross-situational word …

Cross‐situational learning of minimal word pairs
Cross‐situational statistical learning of words involves tracking co‐occurrences of auditory
words and objects across time to infer word‐referent mappings. Previous research has …

Prediction error boosts retention of novel words in adults but not in children
How do we update our linguistic knowledge? In seven experiments, we asked whether error-
driven learning can explain under what circumstances adults and children are more likely to …

Word-Object Learning via Visual Exploration in Space (WOLVES): A neural process model of cross-situational word learning.
Infants, children, and adults have been shown to track co-occurrence across ambiguous
naming situations to infer the referents of new words. The extensive literature on this cross …

All the right noises: Background variability helps early word learning
Variability is prevalent in early language acquisition, but, whether it supports or hinders
learning is unclear; while target variability has been shown to facilitate word learning …
