Acquisition of Word-Object Associations by 14-Month-Old Infants.
Werker, Janet F.; Cohen, Leslie B.; Lloyd, Valerie L.; Stager, Christine.; Casasola, Marianella
Developmental Psychology, v34 n6 p1289-1309 Nov 1998
In six experiments, infants were habituated to word-object pairings and then presented with a familiar word and object in a previously seen and a new pairing. Found that 14-month olds formed word-object associations under these conditions when the objects were moving; 8- to 12-month olds did not form associations but appeared to process the word and object information.
