    "title": "Simple Mechanisms, Rich Structure: Statistical Co-Occurrence Regularities in\nLanguage Shape the Development of Semantic Knowledge",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Many hallmarks of human intelligence including language,\nreasoning, and planning require us to draw upon knowledge about\nthe world in which concepts, denoted by words, are organized by\nmeaningful, semantic links between them (e.g., juicy-apple-pear).\nThe goal of the present research was to investigate how these\norganized semantic networks may emerge in development from\nsimple but powerful mechanisms sensitive to statistical co-\noccurrence regularities of word use in language. Specifically, we\ntested whether a mechanistic account of how co-occurrence\nregularities shape semantic development accurately predicts how\nsemantic organization changes with development. Using a\nsensitive, gaze-based measure of the semantic links organizing\nknowledge in children and adults, we observed that\ndevelopmental changes in semantic organization were consistent\nwith a key role for statistical co-occurrence regularities.",
