Mutual exclusivity in autism spectrum disorders: testing the pragmatic hypothesis.
While there is ample evidence that children treat words as mutually exclusive, the cognitive basis of this bias is widely debated. We focus on the distinction between pragmatic and lexical constraints accounts. High-functioning children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) offer a unique perspective on this debate, as they acquire substantial vocabularies despite impoverished social-pragmatic s...

متن کاملWeSME: uncovering mutual exclusivity of cancer drivers and beyond
Motivation Mutual exclusivity is a widely recognized property of many cancer drivers. Knowledge about these relationships can provide important insights into cancer drivers, cancer-driving pathways and cancer subtypes. It can also be used to predict new functional interactions between cancer driving genes and uncover novel cancer drivers. Currently, most of mutual exclusivity analyses are prefo...
متن کاملMutual Exclusivity and Vocabulary Structure
The words that children learn can be characterized as a semantic network, with links connecting related words. Recent analyses have shown these networks to have smallworld structure, with a few highly-connected hub words facilitating short paths between otherwise distant words. This structure contributes to network robustness, and differences in structure can predict differences in language lea...
متن کاملCross-situational Word Learning Respects Mutual Exclusivity
Learners are able to infer the meanings of words by observing the consistent statistical association between words and their referents, but the nature of the learning mechanisms underlying this process are unknown. We conducted an artificial cross-situational word learning experiment in which either words consistently appeared with multiple objects (extra object condition) or objects consistent...
