© 2016 Cognitive Science Society, Inc. Across a series of four experiments with 3- to 4-year-olds we demonstrate how cognitive mechanisms supporting noun learning extend to the mapping of actions to objects. In Experiment 1 (n = 61) the demonstration... Read More about Parallels between action-object mapping and word-object mapping in young children.

Young children retain fast mapped object labels better than shape, color, and texture words (2015)
Journal Article
Holland, A., Simpson, A., & Riggs, K. J. (2015). Young children retain fast mapped object labels better than shape, color, and texture words. Journal of experimental child psychology, 134, 1-11. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jecp.2015.01.014

We compared short- and long-term retention of fast mapped color, shape and texture words as well as object labels. In an exposure session, 354 3- and 4-year-old children were shown a set of two familiar and three novel stimuli. One of the novel stimu...
