Eyetracking data collected from 10-month-old infants, stimuli. In the current study, parents read their infants a storybook containing multiple exemplars from two novel object...

A central question in language acquisition is how children master sentence types that they have seldom, if ever, heard. Here we report the findings of a preregistered,...

Corpus data analysis (Python scripts) audio recordings (audio files), stimuli (a complete OpenSesame Experiment file), transcribed and coded responses (.csv file) data analysis...

It has long been claimed that the child’s experience of language is not sufficient to enable them to learn language, and so language structure must be innate and internal to the...

The aim of the present work was to develop a computational model of how children acquire inflectional morphology for marking person and number; one of the central challenges in...

This paper describes an extension to the MOSAIC model which aims to increase MOSAIC’s fit to the cross-linguistic occurrence of Optional Infinitive (OI) errors. While previous...

We present a computational model of the acquisition of German case that is evaluated against empirical data obtained from naturalistic speech. The model substitutes nouns into...

We examine the success of developmental distributional analysis in English, German and Dutch. We embed the mechanism for distributional analysis within an existing model of...

We investigated the influence of animacy on online processing of semantically reversible SRCs and ORCs using lexically inanimate items that were perceptually animate due to...

A mixed methods approach was adopted, with the project undertaking qualitative interviews and a questionnaire survey. The interviews were conducted with policy-makers, teachers...

Autistic people have difficulties recalling episodic memories, including retrieving fewer or less specific and detailed memories compared to typically developing (TD) people....

Using a pattern extraction task, we show that baboons, like humans, have a learning bias that helps them discover connected patterns more easily than disconnected ones—i.e.,...

Learning is often accompanied by a subjective sense of confidence in one's knowledge, a feeling of knowing what you know and how well you know it. Subjective confidence has been...

Natural language involves competition. The sentences we choose to utter activate alternative sentences (those we chose not to utter), which hearers typically infer to be false....

There has been little investigation of the way source monitoring, the ability to track the source of one’s knowledge, may be involved in lexical acquisition. In two experiments,...

Content words (e.g. nouns and adjectives) are generally connected: there are no gaps in their denotations; no noun means ‘table or shoe’ or ‘animal or house’. We explore a...

The Language 0-5 project was a multi-methodological longitudinal cohort study that tracked the language development of 90 English-learning children from 6 months to 4;6 years....

This research demonstrated that although new memories for individual items can be acquired rapidly, the process of discovering regularities across individual items to permit...

Conversational deficits are often the first thing people notice about children with an autism spectrum condition (ASC), which affects around 1% of the population. Many ASC...

Data and analysis from two studies investigating the role of onomatopoeia in children's vocabulary development. The corpus study uses data from the Language Development Corpus...
