{ "pk": 29670, "title": "From two to many: The role of executive functions in young children’s\ngeneralization of novel object names in a comparison design", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "In this study, 4-year-old children were tested in an object name\ngeneralization task with a stimulus comparison design.\nPerformance in the generalization task was correlated with\nperformance in a vocabulary test and three executive function\ntasks assessing inhibition, flexibility, and working memory.\nCorrelational analyses revealed a significant association with\nflexibility but not with inhibition, working memory or\nvocabulary test. We interpret the results in terms of a capacity\nto flexibly generate novel dimensions rather than inhibiting\nirrelevant dimensions. Individual differences in working\nmemory and inhibition did not significantly influence\nperformance in the word extension task. Moreover, the absence\nof correlation with the vocabulary performance supports the\nidea that children did not rely on existing knowledge to find out\nthe relevant dimension.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "Comparison" }, { "word": "executive functions" }, { "word": "Distinctiveness" }, { "word": "Conceptual Development." } ], "section": "Poster Session 1", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8t093316", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Yannick", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Lagarrigue", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Université de Bourgogne Franche-Comté", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Jean-Pierre", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Thibaut", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Université de Bourgogne Franche-Comté", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "2020-01-01T18:00:00Z", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/29670/galley/19527/download/" } ] }
