    "abstract": "The organization of semantic knowledge according to relations between concepts influences many facets of highercognition. Therefore, understanding the origins of relations knowledge is a key focus of cognitive development research. Thisstudy investigated the contributions of environmental statistical regularities to relations knowledge in preschool-age children.Using CHILDES to estimate co-occurrence between familiar items, we constructed triads consisting of a target, related distrac-tor, and unrelated distractor in which targets and related distractors consistently co-occurred (e.g., sock-foot), belonged to thesame taxonomic category (e.g., sock-coat), or both (e.g., sock-shoe). Using a Visual World paradigm, we then measured rela-tions knowledge as the degree to which children looked at related versus unrelated distractors when asked to look for targets.The results revealed that co-occurrence, regardless of taxonomic relatedness, influenced whether participants looked signifi-cantly more at related versus unrelated distractors. These findings demonstrate that co-occurrence regularities between entitiesin the environment shape knowledge organization.",
