Children’s Generalization of Novel Object Names in Comparison Contexts: An eye tracking analysis
2019
International audience; A common result is thatcomparison settings (i.e., several stimuli introduced simultaneously) favor conceptualizationand generalization. In a comparison setting, we manipulated the semantic distance between the two training items (e.g., two bracelets versus a bracelet and a watch), and the semantic distance between the training items and the test items (e.g., a pendant versus a bow tie). We tested 5-and 8-year-old children’s generalization of novel names for objects. This study is the first one to study the temporal dynamics ofcomparison in a generalization task with eye-tracking data. The eye movement data revealed clear patterns of exploration in which participants …
Children’s Generalization of Novel Relational Nouns in Comparison Contexts
2021
Comparison settings (i.e. several stimuli introduced simultaneously) favor novel word learning and generalization. This study investigates the temporal dynamics of 6-year-olds solving strategies in a relational noun (e.g. “x is the dax for y”) comparison and generalization task with eye tracking data. We manipulated conceptual distance between the task’s items and recorded children’s performances and eye tracking data. We analyze and interpret solving strategies following the predictions made by two hypotheses, the Projection-First and Alignment-first. Eye tracking data clearly revealed that children, first, extract the relation from comparisons of items within a pair and search for a match…
