    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Word learning is a fundamental part of language acquisition. Learning words from cross-situational statistics (Yu\n& Smith 2007) has been argued to be critical for lexical acquisition, but the resulting representations are not well understood.\nHere, we examine the claim from Hamrick & Rebuschat (2014) that cross-situational learning results in implicit representations.\nThree experiments provide evidence to the contrary. First, we establish that confidence ratings positively correlate with accuracy.\nBy using a cover story where participants were not told to infer word meaning, only highly confident answers were above\nchance, contrary to what accounts of implicit memory would predict. In addition, using a deadline procedure (Voss, Bayem &\nPaller 2008), we found that participants performed no differently than without a deadline, contrary to predictions from implicit\nmemory representations. In sum, we conclude that representations from cross-situational word learning are explicit.",
