Running head : EARLY USE OF MUTUAL EXCLUSIVITY 1 Mutual Exclusivity Develops as a Consequence of Abstract Rather than Particular Vocabulary Knowledge
Mutual exclusivity (ME) refers to the assumption that there are one-to-one relations between linguistic forms and their meanings. It is used as a word-learning strategy whereby children tend to map novel labels to unfamiliar rather than familiar referents. Previous research has indicated a relation between ME and vocabulary development, which could either be due to children’s developing knowled...
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 کاملSimplicity Rather Than Knowledge
I’ve spent over 20 years implementing algorithms for Boolean minimization, with particular application to area optimization of large semiconductor circuits. This exploration has included almost all published algorithms, dozens of conventional and exotic data structures, over two dozen programming languages and styles, and almost every level of implementation, from reconfigurable silicon through...
متن کاملMutual Exclusivity 1 Running head : MUTUAL EXCLUSIVITY IN AUTISM
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 کاملIs hypovitaminosis D a consequence rather than cause of disease?
Chalmers and colleagues have shown that vitamin D deficiency is common in bronchiectasis and correlates with markers of disease severity. The authors comment that although the study has identified a strong association, this does not demonstrate causality, but the results justify a randomised controlled trial of vitamin D therapy to determine if supplementation can improve outcomes. They mention...
