2020 Heads, shoulders, knees and toes: What developmental robotics can tell us about language acquisition Current Perspectives on Child Language Acquisition: How children use their environment to learn, Rowland, Caroline F., Anna L. Theakston, Ben Ambridge and Katherine E. Twomey (eds.), pp. 39–64 | Chapter
Decades of research have brought us a long way in understanding the many factors that affect language acquisition. However, while a wealth of empirical studies have characterised children’s language learning behaviours, from pre-speech to syntax, until relatively recently researchers have been… read more
2016 Children’s referent selection and word learning: Insights from a developmental robotic system Interaction Studies 17:1, pp. 101–127 | Article
It is well-established that toddlers can correctly select a novel referent from an ambiguous array in response to a novel label. There is also a growing consensus that robust word learning requires repeated label-object encounters. However, the effect of the context in which a novel object is… read more
