    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Monolingual toddlers reportedly rely more heavily on the\nMutual Exclusivity Principle (MEP) than their age-matched\nbilingual counterparts when learning new words. Here, we re-\nvisit this issue by testing monolingual and bilingual 24-month-\nolds’ reliance on the MEP to learn novel colour labels across\nmultiple labelling instances, where cross-situational statistics\nlink a particular label to a particular colour – but not a particular\nobject. In addition, we ask whether the presentation of\natypically-coloured objects (e.g., turquoise dogs) may have\ninfluenced how readily toddlers attached novel labels to colour\nterms rather than objects. Thus far, our results demonstrate that\nmonolingual and bilingual toddlers are equally successful in\nlearning colour labels when taught with atypically-coloured\nobjects. However, only bilingual children are able to learn\ncolour labels taught with typically-coloured objects. We\nconclude that researchers need to carefully consider the\nrichness and statistical input in children’s learning\nenvironments to better understand development in diverse\nlanguage settings.",
