Word learning is a fundamental part of language acquisition. Learning words from cross-situational statistics (Yu & Smith 2007) has been argued to be critical for lexical acquisition, but the resulting representations are not well understood. Here, we examine the claim from Hamrick & Rebuschat (2014) that cross-situational learning results in implicit representations. Three experiments provide ...

We focus on meaning that is not associated with particular semantic descriptions, but emerges from the multitude of explicit and implicit links on the web of data. We claim that the current approaches are m...

Previous research has established that direct priming effects on implicit memory tests can be dissociated from explicit remembering. Evidence from studies of college students suggests that priming on various implicit tests can be characterized as a presemantic phenomenon: Priming can occur at full strength following nonsemantic encoding tasks that typically produce low levels of explicit memory...

Whereas semantic content explicitly expresses feelings, vocal tone conveys implicit information regarding emotions. This study examined the attention to different emotional cues in European-American and Chinese children. Participants were 121 EuropeanAmerican and 120 Chinese children (4-9 ...
