The Novel Object and Unusual Name (NOUN) Database: A collection of novel images for use in experimental research
Many experimental research designs require images of novel objects. Here we introduce the

Toward a precision science of word learning: Understanding individual vocabulary pathways
LK Samuelson - Child Development Perspectives, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Toddlers vary widely in the rate at which they develop vocabulary. This variation predicts
later language development and school success at the group level; however, we cannot …

Moving word learning to a novel space: A dynamic systems view of referent selection and retention
Theories of cognitive development must address both the issue of how children bring their
knowledge to bear on behavior in‐the‐moment, and how knowledge changes over time. We …

Formal theories clarify the complex: Generalizing a neural process account of the interaction of visual exploration and word learning in infancy
The interaction of visual exploration and auditory processing is central to early cognitive
development, supporting object discrimination, categorization, and word learning. Research …

Too much of a good thing: How novelty biases and vocabulary influence known and novel referent selection in 18‐month‐old children and associative learning …
Identifying the referent of novel words is a complex process that young children do with
relative ease. When given multiple objects along with a novel word, children select the most …

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 …

Productive verbs facilitate action prediction in toddlers
Children can represent events in our everyday life in both non‐linguistic and linguistic
formats. We aimed to investigate whether non‐linguistic representations are changed once …

The dynamics of infant attention: Implications for crossmodal perception and word‐mapping research
The present review is a novel synthesis of research on infants' attention in two related
domains—crossmodal perception and word mapping. The authors hypothesize that infant …

Evolutionary approach to bilingualism
SG Roberts - 2013 - era.ed.ac.uk
The ability to learn multiple languages simultaneously is a fundamental human linguistic
capacity. Yet there has been little attempt to explain this in evolutionary terms. Perhaps one …

Relating language input to language processes early in development: using the early language processing task in UK and India
L Fibla Reixachs - 2021 - ueaeprints.uea.ac.uk
Early language development is highly associated with language outcomes and later
cognitive abilities. This is why it is crucial to understand the mechanisms that support …
