    "title": "Active Overhearing:Development in Preschoolers’ Skill at ‘Listening in’ to Naturalistic Overheard Speech",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Overhearing can be seen as active learning, and overheardspeech provides an increasingly viable source of linguisticinput across development. This study extends previous re-sults showing learning from overhearing simplified, pedagogicspeech to a more ecologically valid context. Children learnmultiple words and facts corresponding to novel toys eitherthrough an overheard phone call or through direct instruction.Remarkably, 4.5–6-year-olds learned four new words equallywell in both conditions. Their performance on a set of six factswas even better, especially when taught directly. Analysis ofthe videos revealed that older children with high test accuracyboth looked toward the experimenter often, and tracked ob-jects as she discussed them. 3–4.5-year-olds only learned factsfrom overhearing, and exhibited greater varability in attention.These results suggest learning from overhearing is driven byattention to the indirect input, and may be a skill that under-goes substantial development during the preschool years.",
