    "abstract": "Human infants learn meanings for words in interaction with\ntheir environment. Individual learning scenarios can be\nambiguous due to the presence of several words and possible\nmeanings. One possible way to overcome ambiguity is called\ncross-situational learning (XSL), where information is\ngathered over several learning trials. Experimental studies of\nhuman XSL have shown that cognitive constraints, such as\nattention and memory limitations, decrease human\nperformance when compared to computer models that can\nstore all available information. In this paper, we approach\nmodeling of human performance with a novel computational\nXSL algorithm, FAMM (Familiarity preference, Associative\nlearning, Mutual exclusivity, Memory decay), equipped with\nthe four main components motivated by experimental\nresearch. The model is evaluated based on a number of earlier\nXSL experiments that probe different aspects of learning.\nFAMM is shown to provide a better fit to the behavioral data\nthan the earlier proposed model of Kachergis et al.
