Toddlers use speech disfluencies to predict speakers' referential intentions.
The ability to infer the referential intentions of speakers is a crucial part of learning a language. Previous research has uncovered various contextual and social cues that children may use to do this. Here we provide the first evidence that children also use speech disfluencies to infer speaker intention. Disfluencies (e.g. filled pauses 'uh' and 'um') occur in predictable locations, such as ...

متن کاملSupplementary material for “ Using speakers ’ referential intentions to model early cross - situational word learning ”
This supplementary document accompanies the Bayesian model of cross-situational word learning described in our paper “Using speakers’ referential intentions to model early cross-situational word learning.” It is also meant to be read in conjunction with the source code for our model and the comparison models we describe in the paper. Together we hope these materials give the interested reader a...
متن کاملUsing speakers' referential intentions to model early cross-situational word learning.
Word learning is a "chicken and egg" problem. If a child could understand speakers' utterances, it would be easy to learn the meanings of individual words, and once a child knows what many words mean, it is easy to infer speakers' intended meanings. To the beginning learner, however, both individual word meanings and speakers' intentions are unknown. We describe a computational model of word le...
متن کاملToddlers' referential understanding of pictures.
Pictures are referential in that they can represent objects in the real world. Here we explore the emergence of understanding of the referential potential of pictures during the second year of life. In Study 1, 15-, 18-, and 24-month-olds learned a word for a picture of a novel object (e.g., "blicket") in the context of a picture book interaction. Later they were presented with the picture of a...
