Paradox Lost? No, Paradox Found! Reply to Tomasello and Akhtar (2003).
Naigles, Letitia R.
Cognition, v88 n3 p325-29 Jul 2003
Asserts that the posited paradox between infancy and toddlerhood language was not eliminated by Tomasello and Akhtar's appeal to infants' robust statistical learning abilities. Maintains that scrutiny of their studies supports the resolution that abstracting linguistic form is easy for infants and that toddlers find it difficult to integrate abstract forms with meaning. Claims that intermodal preferential looking studies demonstrate that toddlers can distinguish transitive and intratransitive frames. (KB)
