到两岁时，蹒跚学步的孩子就能熟练地运用社会、观察和语言线索来发现单词的含义。在这里，我们问他们如何在贫困的情况下，语言线索提供，但没有社会或视觉信息。新颖的动词呈现在一个流的句法信息的句子，但句子没有嵌入在社会背景下，并没有视觉访问动词的所指，直到测试阶段。结果提供了洞察幼儿如何可能受益于偷听的情况下，他们不直接参加的环境语音，并在没有会话的背景下，视觉指示，或儿童导向的对话是可用的。(C)2013爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
By two years of age, toddlers are adept at recruiting social, observational, and linguistic cues to discover the meanings of words. Here, we ask how they fare in impoverished contexts in which linguistic cues are provided, but no social or visual information is available. Novel verbs are presented in a stream of syntactically informative sentences, but the sentences are not embedded in a social context, and no visual access to the verb's referent is provided until the test phase. The results provide insight into how toddlers may benefit from overhearing contexts in which they are not directly attending to the ambient speech, and in which no conversational context, visual referent, or child-directed conversation is available.
