    "title": "Why is Number Word Learning Hard? Evidence from Bilingual Learners",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "We investigated the developmental trajectory of number word\nlearning in bilingual preschoolers to examine the relative\ncontributions of two factors: (1) the construction of numerical\nconcepts, and (2) the mapping of language-specific words\nonto these concepts. We found that children learn the\nmeanings of small numbers independently in each language,\nindicating that the delay in the acquisition of small numbers is\nmainly due to language-specific processes of mapping words\nto concepts. In contrast, the logic and procedures of counting\nare learned simultaneously in both languages, indicating that\nthese stages require the construction of numerical concepts\nthat are not stored in a language-specific format.",
