这项研究调查了学龄前儿童是否可以在看电视时学习新单词，以及学习是否受到年龄或单词类型的影响。61名3岁和5岁的学龄前儿童被分配到实验组或对照组。他们观看了一个15分钟的电视节目，有20个不同的新单词，5个在4类对象，动作，属性，和情感状态的话。在观看之前和之后测试理解。实验组在物体、动作和属性词上的表现优于对照组。5岁儿童比3岁儿童更准确，从实验条件中获得的相对更多。最容易学的词是宾语和定语。这一结果对媒体效应的研究和学龄前儿童对新单词的“快速映射”的研究具有重要意义。
The study investigated if preschoolers can learn novel words when viewing television and if the learning is influenced by age or type of word. 61 preschoolers, ages 3 and 5, were assigned to either an experimental or control group. They viewed a 15-min television program, featuring 20 different novel words, 5 each in the 4 categories of object, action, attribute, and affective-state words. Comprehension was tested before and after viewing. The experimental group performed better than the controls for object, action, and attribute words. 5-year-olds were more accurate than 3-year-olds and gained relatively more from the experimental condition. The easiest words to learn were object and attribute words. The results are relevant for studies of media effects and accounts of preschoolers' "fast mapping" of new words.
