    "title": "Generalizing novel names in comparison settings:\nRole of conceptual distance during learning and at test",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "In a comparison setting (two stimuli), we tested 4- and 6-year-\nold children’s generalization of novel names for objects. We\nmanipulated the semantic distance between the two learning\nitems (e.g., two bracelets versus a bracelet and a watch), and\nthe semantic distance between the learning items and the test\nitems (e.g., a pendant versus a bow tie). We tested whether\nsmaller semantic distance between learning items would lead\nto more taxonomic (vs. perceptual) choices at test, than\nbroader semantic distance during learning, especially in the\ncase of distant test stimuli. Results revealed main effects of\nlearning distance, of generalization distance and that only\nchildren aged 6 years benefited from broader semantic during\nlearning at test. Four year-old children failed to generalize to\nfar test stimuli even with semantically distant learning items.\nWe discuss how conceptual distance during learning\ndifferentially affects generalization performance across age\ngroups.",
