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 …

[HTML][HTML] The role of developmental change and linguistic experience in the mutual exclusivity effect
Given a novel word and a familiar and a novel referent, children have a bias to assume the
novel word refers to the novel referent. This bias–often referred to as “Mutual …

The development of fast‐mapping and novel word retention strategies in monolingual and bilingual infants
The mutual exclusivity (ME) assumption is proposed to facilitate early word learning by
guiding infants to map novel words to novel referents. This study assessed the emergence …

Twelve-month-olds disambiguate new words using mutual-exclusivity inferences
Representing objects in terms of their kinds enables inferences based on the long-term
knowledge made available through kind concepts. For example, children readily use lexical …

Abstract Infants, 18–24 months old who have difficulty learning words compared to their
peers are often referred to as “late talkers”(LTs). These children are at risk for continued …
