  • Learning Partial Word Meanings From Referentially Ambiguous Naming Events

    Open AccessNina Schoener, Sara C Johnson et al.ARTICLECognitive Science2025References: 85

    Both classic thought experiments and recent empirical evidence suggest that children frequently encounter new words whose meanings are underdetermined by the extralinguistic contexts in which they occur. The role that these referentially ambiguous events play in children's word learning is central to ongoing debates in the field. Do children learn words from referentially ambiguous events via an incremental learning process? Or, do children learn…

  • What are the building blocks of parent–infant coordinated attention in free‐flowing interaction

    Open AccessDrew H Abney, Sumarga H Suanda et al.ARTICLEInfancy2020

    The present article investigated the composition of different joint gaze components used to operationalize various types of coordinated attention between parents and infants and which types of coordinated attention were associated with future vocabulary size. Twenty‐five 9‐month‐old infants and their parents wore head‐mounted eye trackers as they played with objects together. With high‐density gaze data, a variety of coordinated attention bout ty…

  • The Signal in the Noise: The Visual Ecology of Parents' Object Naming

    Open AccessSumarga H Suanda, Meagan Barnhart et al.ARTICLEInfancy2019

    The uncertainty of reference has long been considered a key challenge for young word learners. Recent studies of head camera wearing toddlers and their parents during object play have revealed that from toddlers' views, the referents of parents' object naming are often visually quite clear. Although these studies have promising theoretical implications, they were all conducted in stripped‐down laboratory contexts. The current study examines the v…

  • The Organization of Words and Symbolic Gestures in 18‐Month‐Olds’ Lexicons: Evidence From a Disambiguation Task

    Open AccessSumarga H Suanda, Laura L NamyARTICLEInfancy2013

    Infants’ early communicative repertoires include both words and symbolic gestures. The current study examined the extent to which infants organize words and gestures in a single unified lexicon. As a window into lexical organization, eighteen‐month‐olds’ ( N = 32) avoidance of word–gesture overlap was examined and compared with avoidance of word–word overlap. The current study revealed that when presented with novel words, infants avoided lexical…

  • Changes in the Ability to Detect Ordinal Numerical Relationships Between 9 and 11 Months of Age

    Open AccessSumarga H Suanda, Whitney Tompson et al.ARTICLEInfancy2008

    When are the precursors of ordinal numerical knowledge first evident in infancy? Brannon (2002) argued that by 11 months of age, infants possess the ability to appreciate the greater than and less than relations between numerical values but that this ability experiences a sudden onset between 9 and 11 months of age. Here we present 5 experiments that explore the changes that take place between 9 and 11 months of age in infants' ability to detect …
