  • Object labeling and disambiguation in 4-month-old infants [Elektronski vir]
    Saksida, Amanda ; Langus, Alan
    he account that word learning starts in earnest during the second year of life, when infants have mastered the disambiguation skills, has recently been challenged by evidence that infants during the ... first year already know many common words. The preliminary ability to rapidly map and disambiguate linguistic labels was tested in Italian-speaking infants (N= 96, 47 boys; age = 4 and 6 months, eye tracking). Infants can rapidly map linguistic labels to objects and movements, and disambiguate the intended referents to novel words, but they fail with sinewave analogs. In hearing infants, mapping and disambiguation emerge early in development, and are f lexible as to which visual referents infants are willing to map to linguistic labels, but may be constrained to linguistic sounds.
