First, mothers are substantially more affected by the school year than are…

Forty-eight toddlers participated in a word-learning task to assess gesture input on mapping nonce words to unfamiliar objects. Receptive fast mapping and expressive naming for target object-word pairs were tested in three conditions -- with a point, with a shape gesture, and in a no-gesture, word-only condition. No statistically significant…
