Kelly, Barbara F.; Forshaw, William; Nordlinger, Rachel; Wigglesworth, Gillian – First Language, 2015
The field of first language acquisition (FLA) needs to take into account data from the broadest typological array of languages and language-learning environments if it is to identify potential universals in child language development, and how these interact with socio-cultural mechanisms of acquisition. Yet undertaking FLA research in remote…

In a seminal study Simcock and Hayne (2002) showed that 3-year-olds were unable to use newly acquired words to describe a "magic" event experienced 6 or 12 months earlier. In the reference study the children's verbal recall was tested without props being present. Inspired by recent evidence, the original design was replicated, testing…

Paciorek, Albertyna; Williams, John N. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2015
Despite many years of investigation into implicit learning in nonlinguistic domains, the potential for implicit learning to deliver the kinds of generalizations that underlie natural language competence remains unclear. In a series of experiments, we investigated implicit learning of the semantic preferences of novel verbs, specifically, whether…

Liebeskind, Kara G.; Piotrowski, Jessica T.; Lapierre, Matthew A.; Linebarger, Deborah L. – Journal of Early Childhood Literacy, 2014

Research has demonstrated that media and parent-child interactions, both characteristics of the home literacy environment, influence children's language skills. Using a national sample of…

Callanan, Maureen A.; Akhtar, Nameera; Sussman, Lisa – First Language, 2014

Two experiments compared toddlers' label learning in the context of hearing words used in directive versus labeling…
