Sound-Symbolism Boosts Novel Word Learning
ideophone sound-symbolism synaesthesia iconicity word learning
2016/5/3
The existence of sound-symbolism (or a non-arbitrary link between form and meaning) is well-attested. However, sound-symbolism has mostly been investigated with nonwords in forced choice tasks, neithe...
Using Speakers’ Referential Intentions to Model Early Cross-Situational Word Learning
word meaning
2015/6/24
Word learning is a ‘‘chicken and egg’’ problem. If a child could understand speakers’ utterances, it
would be easy to learn the meanings of individual words,
and once a child knows what many words m...
Tone of voice guides word learning in informative referential contexts
Tone of voice Prosody Word learning Word meaning Speech perception
2015/4/24
Listeners infer which object in a visual scene a speaker refers to from the systematic variation of the speaker’s tone of voice (ToV). We examined whether ToV also guides word learning. During exposur...

2015/4/20
Around their first birthday infants begin to talk, yet they comprehend words long before. This study investigated the event-related potentials (ERP) responses of nine-month-olds on basic level picture...
This paper investigates the effects of novel words on a cognitively plausible computational model of word learning. The
model is first familiarized with a set of words, achieving high
recognit...

In this paper we investigate a computational model of word learning, that is embedded in a cognitively and ecologically plausible framework. Multi-modal stimuli from four different speakers form a var...
The Time Course of Spoken Word Learning and Recognition: Studies With Artificial Lexicons
Spoken Word Learning Recognition Artificial Lexicons
2015/1/29
The time course of spoken word recognition depends largely on the frequencies of a word and its competitors, or neighbors (similar-sounding words). However, variability in natural lexicons makes syste...
Propose but verify: Fast mapping meets cross-situational word learning.
cross-situational word learning
2014/5/7
We report three eyetracking experiments that examine the learning
procedure used by adults as they pair novel words and visually presented referents over a sequence of referentially ambiguous trials....

The temporal co-occurrence of a novel word and a visual referent undoubtedly facilitates establishing the meaning of a
word. It is less understood, however, how precisely learners

We report three eyetracking experiments that examine the learning procedure used by adults as they pair novel words and visually presented referents over a sequence of referentially ambiguous trials.S...
Phonological knowledge guides 2-year-olds’ and adults’ interpretation of salient pitch contours in word learning
Word learning Word recognition Phonology Prosody
2014/5/7
Phonology provides a system by which a limited number of types of phonetic variation can signal communicative intentions at multiple levels of linguistic analysis. Because phonologies vary from langua...
Fast Mapping and Slow Mapping in Children’s Word Learning

2014/5/7
When young children encounter a word they do not know, their guesses about what the word might mean are often surprisingly accurate. This is true not only with respect to the particular instance that ...
Contributions of infant word learning to language development

2014/5/7
Infants learn the forms of words by listening to the speech they hear. Though little is known about the degree to which these forms are meaningful for young infants, the words still play a role in ear...
Most of the action in linguistic theory under Chomsky’s aegis has focused on questions of how words are put together into sentences rather than on the words themselves. Fair enough: the universal hall...

2014/5/7
In two experiments, 1.5-year-olds were taught novel words whose sound patterns were phonologically similar to familiar words (novel neighbors) or were not (novel nonneighbors). Learning was tested usi...
