    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "A key question in early word learning is how infants learn their\nfirst object names despite a natural environment thought to\nprovide messy data for linking object names to their referents.\nUsing head cameras worn by 7 to 11-month-old infants in the\nhome, we document the statistics of visual objects, spoken\nobject names, and their co-occurrence in everyday meal time\nevents. We show that the extremely right skewed frequency\ndistribution of visual objects underlies word-referent co-\noccurrence statistics that set up a clear signal in the noise upon\nwhich infants could capitalize to learn their first object names.",
