Introduction to the special issue

This contribution presents an overview of first exposure studies in the context of word learning, focusing on issues that show up repeatedly in the relevant literature: computation versus storage, the nature of representations of words and how those representations are processed. I discuss aspects of research methodologies that limit our ability to generalize from experiments to normal learning situations. I conclude with a brief discussion of the articles of this issue
