Object Properties and Object Kind: Twenty-One-Month-Old Infants' Extension of Novel Adjectives.
Waxman, Sandra R.; Markow, Dana B.
Child Development, v69 n5 p1313-29 Oct 1998
Examined whether infants succeed in mapping novel adjectives applied ostensively to individual objects and to other objects with the same property. Found that infants hearing a target labeled with novel adjectives were more likely than those hearing no novel words to choose a matching test object when all objects were drawn from same basic level category.
