{ "pk": 30035, "title": "Do social cues promote cross-situational verb learning and retention?", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "Children learn words using a range of social, statistical, and perceptual information. One proposal for how childrendetermine word meanings is cross-situational learning, in which children track ambiguous word-object mappings overtime (e.g., Yu & Smith, 2007). However, previous studies have not evaluated how children use natural social cues duringlearning (e.g., eye gaze). We taught 3-year-olds three novel verbs (c.f., Scott & Fisher, 2012) and hypothesized that socialcues not only support cross-situational learning, but also support retention of verbs after a delay. In between-subjectsconditions, children either did or did not have access to eye-gaze and head-turn cues during exposure. We tested forparticipants learning after 12 learning trials and after a delay. Pilot data suggest that children who have access to naturalsocial cues successfully learned and retained links between novel verbs and their corresponding actions.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [], "section": "Poster Session 3", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/2wq2m8n5", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Crystal", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Lee", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Princeton University", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Casey", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Lew-Williams", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Princeton University", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "2020-01-01T13:00:00-05:00", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/30035/galley/19889/download/" } ] }
