    "title": "Why Some Verbs are Harder to Learn than Others –\nA Micro-Level Analysis of Everyday Learning Contexts for Early Verb Learning",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Verb learning is important for young children. While most\nprevious research has focused on linguistic and conceptual\nchallenges in early verb learning (e.g. Gentner, 1982, 2006),\nthe present paper examined early verb learning at the\nattentional level and quantified the input for early verb learning\nby measuring verb-action co-occurrence statistics in parent-\nchild interaction from the learner’s perspective. To do so, we\nused head-mounted eye tracking to record fine-grained\nmultimodal behaviors during parent-infant joint play, and\nanalyzed parent speech, parent and infant action, and infant\nattention at the moments when parents produced verb labels.\nOur results show great variability across different action verbs,\nin terms of frequency of verb utterances, frequency of\ncorresponding actions related to verb meanings, and infants’\nattention to verbs and actions, which provide new insights on\nwhy some verbs are harder to learn than others.",
