当孩子们学习他们的母语时，他们倾向于把物体当作只有一个标签，这就是所谓的互斥原则。然而，双语儿童面临着一个不同的认知挑战-他们需要学会将两个标签与一个物体联系起来。在本研究中，我们比较了双语和单语24个月奥尔兹在一个具有挑战性和半自然主义的强迫选择参照选择任务和保持测试中的表现。总的来说，两个语言组在指称选择上表现相似，但在保留上有所不同。具体来说，虽然单语婴儿表现出一定的保留，双语婴儿表现在机会和显着不如单语同龄人。
When children learn their native language, they tend to treat objects as if they only have one label—a principle known as mutual exclusivity. However, bilingual children are faced with a different cognitive challenge—they need to learn to associate two labels with one object. In the present study, we compared bilingual and monolingual 24‐month‐olds’ performance on a challenging and semi‐naturalistic forced‐choice referent selection task and retention test. Overall, both language groups performed similarly on referent selection but differed on retention. Specifically, while monolingual infants showed some retention, bilingual infants performed at chance and significantly worse than their monolingual peers.
