Concept Formation and Its Relation to Word Learning and Use in the Second Year.

Lucariello, Joan

Journal of Child Language, v14 n2 p309-32 Jun 1987

Examination of object word learning and use in beginning (vocabulary of less than 50 words) and advanced (vocabulary of more than 50 words) infant speakers indicated that both groups formed concepts, learned, and generalized words for the to-be-learned objects. Advanced speakers learned more words and concepts and engaged in broader generalization than did beginning speakers. (Author/CB)
