    "title": "A shape-heavy vocabulary does not a shape bias make: A comparison of thecontent of English-learning children’s and Spanish-learning children’s typicalvocabularies",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "We asked why Spanish-monolingual children exhibit a weaker, slower-to-develop shape bias in word-learning con-texts compared to English-monolingual children (Hahn & Cantrell, 2012). Ten English-monolingual adults and nine English-Spanish bilingual adults rated the perceptual similarity of items indicated by subsets of words from the English MCDI andSpanish MCDI, respectively. Consistent with previous research with similar methodology (Samuelson & Smith, 1999), wordsfor shape-similar items predominated in the content of the English MCDI (47.72%; agreement: 70%, p < .05). Interestingly,words for shape-similar items also predominated in the content of the Spanish MCDI (56.67%; agreement: 70%, p < .05).Results suggest that the types of words that children learn play a less important role in the development of the shape biasthan other proposed factors (e.g., syntactical regularities; Smith, 2000). Additional findings and implications for children withvarious language backgrounds will be discussed.",
