How can the ability of six-month-old infants to learn words, meanings, and referential categories be explained?
... associate the learned names with concepts, forming words “name + meaning (concept)”. However, recent studies show that 6-month-old infants already know some common words, such as banana, mouth, and hand, indicating that they understand their referential uses. These and other results indicate that infants develop the associated pairs of “name + concept” from a very early age. This clearly contradicts the generally accepted paradigm. To explain how early words appear in infants, this article introduces ...
