- W4313488946 abstract "Abstract How do children succeed in learning a word? Research has shown robustly that, in ambiguous labeling situations, young children assume novel labels to refer to unfamiliar rather than familiar objects. However, ongoing debates center on the underlying mechanism: Is this behavior based on lexical constraints, guided by pragmatic reasoning, or simply driven by children's attraction to novelty? Additionally, recent research has questioned whether children's disambiguation leads to long‐term learning or rather indicates an attentional shift in the moment of the conversation. Thus, we conducted a pre‐registered online study with 2‐ and 3‐year‐olds and adults. Participants were presented with unknown objects as potential referents for a novel word. Across conditions, we manipulated whether the only difference between both objects was their relative novelty to the participant or whether, in addition, participants were provided with pragmatic information that indicated which object the speaker referred to. We tested participants’ immediate referent selection and their retention after 5 min. Results revealed that when given common ground information both age groups inferred the correct referent with high success and enhanced behavioral certainty. Without this information, object novelty alone did not guide their selection. After 5 min, adults remembered their previous selections above chance in both conditions, while children only showed reliable learning in the pragmatic condition. The pattern of results indicates how pragmatics may aid referent disambiguation and learning in both adults and young children. From early ontogeny on, children's social‐cognitive understanding may guide their communicative interactions and support their language acquisition. Research Highlights We tested how 2‐3‐year‐olds and adults resolve referential ambiguity without any lexical cues. In the pragmatic context both age groups disambiguated novel word‐object‐mappings, while object novelty alone did not guide their referent selection. In the pragmatic context, children also showed increased certainty in disambiguation and retained new word‐object‐mappings over time. These findings contribute to the ongoing debate on whether children learn words on the basis of domain‐specific constraints, lower‐level associative mechanisms, or pragmatic inferences." @default.
