Origins of the concepts cause, cost, and goal in prereaching infants
We investigated the origins and interrelations of causal knowledge and knowledge of
agency in 3-month-old infants, who cannot yet effect changes in the world by reaching for …

Cognitive and pragmatic factors in language production: Evidence from source-goal motion events
In order to talk about an event they see in the world, speakers have to build a conceptual
representation of that event and generate a message that selects the pragmatically …

Sources and goals in memory and language: Fragility and robustness in event representation
Previous research has demonstrated an asymmetry between Sources and Goals in people's
linguistic and non-linguistic encoding of motion events: when describing events such as a …

Encoding motion events during language production: Effects of audience design and conceptual salience
We investigate the extent to which pragmatic versus conceptual factors can affect a
speaker's decision to mention or omit different components of an event. In the two …

M Johanson, S Selimis… - Language, Cognition and …, 2019 - Taylor & Francis
Prior research has demonstrated a linguistic asymmetry between the sources and goals of

Above and beyond objects: The development of infants' spatial concepts
M Casasola - Advances in child development and behavior, 2018 - Elsevier
Early in development infants form categorical representations of small-scale spatial
relations, such as left vs right and above vs below. This spatial skill allows infants to …

And, the winner is… a visual preference for endpoints over starting points in infants' motion event representations
L Lakusta, S DiFabrizio - Infancy, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Infants represent objects that are endpoints in motion events and show a preference for
encoding the endpoint (the duck waddles into a bowl) over the starting point (the duck …

Telicity in typical and impaired acquisition
This chapter discusses children's knowledge of the syntactic-semantic interface of different
types of telicity in typical and impaired acquisition. It maintains that telicity can be semantic …

Keeping the end in mind: Preliminary brain and behavioral evidence for broad attention to endpoints in pre-linguistic infants
Infants must learn to carve events at their joints to best understand who is doing what to
whom or whether an object or agent has reached its intended goal. Recent behavioral …
