Knowledge as process: Contextually cued attention and early word learning
Learning depends on attention. The processes that cue attention in the moment dynamically
integrate learned regularities and immediate contextual cues. This paper reviews the …

Word learning emerges from the interaction of online referent selection and slow associative learning.
Classic approaches to word learning emphasize referential ambiguity: In naming situations,
a novel word could refer to many possible objects, properties, actions, and so forth. To solve …

Fast mapping, slow learning: Disambiguation of novel word–object mappings in relation to vocabulary learning at 18, 24, and 30 months
When hearing a novel name, children tend to select a novel object rather than a familiar one,
a bias known as disambiguation. Using online processing measures with 18-, 24-, and 30 …

Fast mapping across time: Memory processes support children's retention of learned words
HA Vlach, CM Sandhofer - Frontiers in psychology, 2012 - frontiersin.org
Children's remarkable ability to map linguistic labels to referents in the world is commonly
called fast mapping. The current study examined children's (N= 216) and adults'(N= 54) …

Inhibition and adjective learning in bilingual and monolingual children
The ability to control attention–by inhibiting pre-potent, yet no longer relevant information–is
an essential skill in all of human learning, and increasing evidence suggests that this ability …

The role of sound symbolism in language learning.
Certain correspondences between the sound and meaning of words can be observed in
subsets of the vocabulary. These sound-symbolic relationships have been suggested to …
