A number of theorists have argued that the productive naming explosion results from advances in abilities that underlie language learning (e.g., the realization that words are symbols, changes in conceptual structure, or the onset of word learning constraints). If any of these accounts are accurate, there should be parallel developments in comprehension. To explore this issue, 4 studies assessed whether pre- and postnaming explosion children differ in their ability to learn a new word after limited exposure. Thirteen- and 18-month-olds heard a new object label just 9 times in a 5-min training session and then their comprehension was assessed in a multiple-choice procedure. Under favorable testing conditions, both 18- and 13-month-olds showed comprehension of the new word, even after a 24-hr delay
