The role of partial knowledge in statistical word learning
A critical question about the nature of human learning is whether it is an all-or-none or a
gradual, accumulative process. Associative and statistical theories of word learning rely …

Remembering new words: Integrating early memory development into word learning
EH Wojcik - Frontiers in psychology, 2013 - frontiersin.org
In order to successfully acquire a new word, young children must learn the correct
associations between labels and their referents. For decades, word-learning researchers …

Memory constraints on infants' cross-situational statistical learning
HA Vlach, SP Johnson - Cognition, 2013 - Elsevier
Infants are able to map linguistic labels to referents in the world by tracking co-occurrence
probabilities across learning events, a behavior often termed cross-situational statistical …

Cross-situational statistical word learning in young children
Recent empirical work has highlighted the potential role of cross-situational statistical word
learning in children's early vocabulary development. In the current study, we tested 5-to 7 …

[HTML][HTML] Learning vocabulary and grammar from cross-situational statistics
P Rebuschat, P Monaghan, C Schoetensack - Cognition, 2021 - Elsevier
Across multiple situations, child and adult learners are sensitive to co-occurrences between
individual words and their referents in the environment, which provide a means by which the …

The role of phonology in non-native word learning: evidence from cross-situational statistical learning
Adults often encounter difficulty perceiving and processing sounds of a second language
(L2). In order to acquire word-meaning mappings, learners need to determine what the …

Cross-situational learning in a Zipfian environment
AT Hendrickson, A Perfors - Cognition, 2019 - Elsevier
Both adults and children have shown impressive cross-situational word learning in which
they leverage the statistics of word usage across many different scenes in order to isolate …

More limitations to monolingualism: Bilinguals outperform monolinguals in implicit word learning
To succeed at cross-situational word learning, learners must infer word-object mappings by
attending to the statistical co-occurrences of novel objects and labels across multiple …

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 …

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 …
