Better in sync: Temporal dynamics explain multisensory word‐action‐object learning in early development
We investigated the temporal impact of multisensory settings on children's learning of word‐
object and action‐object associations at 1‐and 2‐years of age. Specifically, we examined …

Children's affective involvement in early word learning
The current study set out to examine the underlying physiological mechanisms of and the
emotional response associated with word learning success in young 3-year-old …

The acquisition of noun and verb categories by bootstrapping from a few known words: A computational model
While many studies have shown that toddlers are able to detect syntactic regularities in
speech, the learning mechanism allowing them to do this is still largely unclear. In this …

Cross‐Situational Word Learning With Multimodal Neural Networks
In order to learn the mappings from words to referents, children must integrate co‐
occurrence information across individually ambiguous pairs of scenes and utterances, a …

Word-object and action-object learning in a unimodal context during early childhood
Word-object and action-object learning in children aged 30 to 48 months appears to develop
at a similar time scale and adheres to similar attentional constraints. However, children …

Mechanisms of associative word learning: Benefits from the visual modality and synchrony of labeled objects
Despite humans' ability to communicate about concepts relating to different senses, word
learning research tends to largely focus on labeling visual objects. Although sensory …

Nonverbal action interpretation guides novel word disambiguation in 12-month-olds
B Pomiechowska, G Csibra - Open Mind, 2022 - direct.mit.edu
Whether young infants can exploit sociopragmatic information to interpret new words is a
matter of debate. Based on findings and theories from the action interpretation literature, we …

Early word learning is influenced by physical environments
E Breitfeld, JR Saffran - Child Development, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
During word learning moments, toddlers experience labels and objects in particular
environments. Do toddlers learn words better when the physical environment creates …

[HTML][HTML] In the absence of visual input: Electrophysiological evidence of infants' mapping of labels onto auditory objects
Despite the prominence of non-visual semantic features for some words (eg, siren or
thunder), little is known about when and how the meanings of those words that refer to …
