    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Cross-situational learning is a basic mechanism that enables\npeople to infer the correct referent for a novel word by tracking\nmultiple hypotheses simultaneously across exposures. Previous\nresearch has shown that adults are capable of exploiting\ncross-situational information, but recently this gradual statistical\nlearning mechanism has been put under debate by researchers\nwho argue that people learn via a fast mapping procedure.\nWe compared the performance of adult participants on\na word learning task in which information was manipulated\ncross-situationally with the performance of simulated learning\nstrategies. Experimental evidence indicates that adults use\ncross-situational learning, which appears to be a robust mechanism\nthat facilitates word learning even under cognitively demanding\ncircumstances.",
