The Match-to-Sample taskis perhaps the most common paradigm for studying changesin semantic knowledge over development, yet this paradigmhas a number of limitations. Here we provide initial evidencevalidating a Visual Search paradigm as a measure of semanticknowledge in preschoolers, and discuss the potential of thisparadigm to address the limitations posed by the Match-to-Sample task to study semantic knowledge development.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"semantic knowledge; visual attention; visualsearch; match-to-sample; language; children."}],"section":"Talks: Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9jj604j3","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Catarina","middle_name":"","last_name":"Vales","name_suffix":"","institution":"Carnegie Mellon University","department":""},{"first_name":"Layla","middle_name":"","last_name":"Unger","name_suffix":"","institution":"Carnegie Mellon University","department":""},{"first_name":"Anna","middle_name":"V.","last_name":"Fisher","name_suffix":"","institution":"Carnegie Mellon University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2017-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/27010/galley/16646/download/"}]}
