    "title": "Spacing Meets Cross-Situational Word Learning: How the Temporal Structure of Labeling Events Affects Word Learning",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Limited work has considered how the temporal distribution of labeling events affects word learning in ambiguous contexts, such as the cross-situational word learning paradigm, over real-world timescales. The temporal distribution of learning events can impact how well information is retained: spacing out information promotes retention more than presenting information in close succession. In the current study, adults were presented with novel object-word pairings across six different temporal schedules over four consecutive training days. Word learning was assessed either immediately after the final training session (N = 50) or after a week (N = 54). Results revealed that adults successfully disambiguated word-object mappings across all learning schedules at both test times, except for the massed and most spaced schedules at the 1-week delay. These findings suggest that temporal distribution effects emerge across extended timescales, but there might be constraints on the amount of spacing that is optimal for word learning.",
