    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "When asked to find the referent of a novel label, children\ntypically select an object that they cannot already name (the\n“disambiguation effect”; Merriman & Bowman, 1998).\nHowever, when the task required cross-modal extension of a\nlabel, children did not show this effect (Scofield, Hernandez-\nReif, & Keith, 2009). In Experiments 1 and 2, preschoolers\nlearned a label for a visual object, then examined it and a\nnovel object by touch. On the critical trials, children were\nasked to decide which tactile object was the referent of a\nnovel label. Four-year-olds only showed the disambiguation\neffect if, prior to the label test, they had identified the tactile\nobject that matched the visual training object. The results of\nExperiment 3 suggest that the 4-year-olds expected to be\nasked about the matching object, which interfered with their\ntendency to disambiguate. This discovery-based interference\nappears to attenuate the use of common word learning\nstrategies.",
