Spoken Word Recognition and Lexical Representation in Very Young Children.
Swingley, Daniel; Aslin, Richard N.
Cognition, v76 n2 p147-66 Aug 14 2000
Examined the degree of specificity encoded in early lexical representations by presenting 18- to 23-month-olds with object labels either correctly or incorrectly pronounced and analyzing children's eye movement. Found that children recognized the spoken words in both conditions but recognition was poorer when words were mispronounced, with effects unrelated to age or to spoken vocabulary size. (Author/KB)
