This study investigated whether children learned, disambiguated, and extended words presented via video. Eighteen 2-year-olds saw a series of short videos. Each video depicted a novel target object that was labeled with a novel word. Then the target object was replaced on screen with a pair of objects (which varied by condition) and children were asked to select the object that best matched a novel word. In the baseline and disambiguation conditions, children saw the target and a novel distracter. In the exten sion condition, children saw an exemplar of the target and a novel distracter. Results showed that children selected the target at above chance levels in the baseline condition and the exemplar at above chance levels in the extension condition. Results also showed that children’s selection in the disambiguation condition did not differ from chance. Possible reasons for children’s inability to disambiguate are discussed.
