作者提出了上下文相关的证据，证明灰鹦鹉（Psittacus erithacus）在标签学习过程中存在某种形式的相互排他性。对于人类儿童来说，相互排他性是指他们在早期单词学习过程中假设一个物体只有一个标签。除了整体对象假设（标签可能指的是整个对象而不是某些部分方面）之外，相互排他性被认为可以指导儿童最初的标签获取。它还可以帮助孩子们将新词解释为物体标签以外的东西，从而帮助他们克服整个物体的假设，但对于年幼的孩子来说，物体的任何第二个标签最初可能比第一个更难获得。作者表明，灰鹦鹉快速学习物品的对象标签，然后在学习使用先前标记的物品的颜色标签时遇到相当大的困难，除非专门教导它们将颜色和对象标签作为一对使用。
The authors present context-dependent evidence for a form of mutual exclusivity during label learning by Grey parrots (Psittacus erithacus). For human children, mutual exclusivity refers to their assumption during early word learning that an object has one and only one label. Along with the whole-object assumption (that a label likely refers to an entire object rather than some partial aspect), mutual exclusivity is thought to guide children in initial label acquisition. It may also help children overcome the whole-object assumption by helping them interpret a novel word as something other than an object label, but for young children, any second label for an object can initially be more difficult to acquire than the first. The authors show that Grey parrots quickly learn object labels for items, then have considerable difficulty learning to use color labels with respect to a previously labeled item unless specifically taught to use a color and object label as a pair.
