Learning colour words is slow: A cross-situational learning account
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 September 2005
Abstract
Research into child language reveals that it takes a long time for children to learn the correct mapping of colour words. Steels & Belpaeme’s (S&B’s) guessing game, however, models fast learning of words. We discuss computational studies based on cross-situational learning, which yield results that are more consistent with the empirical child language data than those obtained by S&B.
