The use of social and salience cues in early word learning

C Houston-Price, K Plunkett, H Duffy - Journal of experimental child …, 2006 - Elsevier
This article explores young infants' ability to learn new words in situations providing tightly
controlled social and salience cues to their reference. Four experiments investigated …

Joint attention and language evolution

J Kwisthout, P Vogt, P Haselager, T Dijkstra - Connection Science, 2008 - Taylor & Francis
This study investigates how more advanced joint attentional mechanisms, rather than only
shared attention between two agents and an object, can be implemented and how they …

Variations in color naming within and across populations

MA Webster, P Kay - Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2005 - cambridge.org
The simulations of Steels & Belpaeme (S&B) suggest that communication could lead to color
categories that are closely shared within a language and potentially diverge across …

Learning colour words is slow: A cross-situational learning account

P Vogt, ADM Smith - Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2005 - cambridge.org
Research into child language reveals that it takes a long time for children to learn the correct
mapping of colour words. Steels & Belpaeme's (S&B's) guessing game, however, models …

[PDF][PDF] Mechanisms underlying the effects of labels on cognitive development

CW Robinson, EM Howard… - Proceedings of the XXVII …, 2005 - researchgate.net
It has been argued that labels play a special role in cognitive development: hearing the
same label associated with different entities facilitates categorization by directing infants' …

How culture might constrain color categories

D Roberson, C O'hanlon - Behavioral and Brain sciences, 2005 - search.proquest.com
If language is crucial to the development of shared colour categories, how might cultural
constraints influence the development of divergent category sets? We propose that …

[PDF][PDF] Sharing perceptually grounded categories in uniform and nonuniform populations

KA Jameson - Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2005 - researchgate.net
Steels & Belpaeme's (S&B) procedure does not model much of the important variation that
occurs across human color categorizers. Human perceptual variation and its corollary …

[PDF][PDF] Intimations of optimality: extensions of simulation testing of color-language hypotheses

DL Bimler - Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2005 - researchgate.net
By emphasizing that color categories are the collective achievement of a language
community, the methodology of Steels & Belpaeme (S&B) suggests a number of corollaries …

[PDF][PDF] Language and the game of life

S Harnad - Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2005 - academia.edu
Steels & Belpaeme's simulations contain all the right components, but they are put together
wrongly. Color categories are unrepresentative of categories in general and language is not …
