[HTML][HTML] 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 …

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 …

Competition between multiple words for a referent in cross-situational word learning
Three experiments investigated competition between word–object pairings in a cross-
situational word-learning paradigm. Adults were presented with One-Word pairings, where a …

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 …

[HTML][HTML] Multiple components of statistical word learning are resource dependent: Evidence from a dual-task learning paradigm
TC Roembke, B McMurray - Memory & cognition, 2021 - Springer
It is increasingly understood that people may learn new word/object mappings in part via a
form of statistical learning in which they track co-occurrences between words and objects …

[HTML][HTML] Cross-situational statistical learning of new words despite bilateral hippocampal damage and severe amnesia
Word learning requires learners to bind together arbitrarily-related phonological, visual, and
conceptual information. Prior work suggests that this binding can be robustly achieved via …
