New Thoughts On Language Acquisition: Toddlers As Data Miners

ScienceDaily (Feb. 4, 2008) — Indiana University researchers are studying a ground-breaking theory that young children are able to learn large groups of words rapidly by data-mining. >

"This new discovery changes completely how we understand children's word learning," Smith said. "It's very exciting."

Yu and Smith say it's possible that the more words tots hear, and the more information available for any individual word, the better their brains can begin simultaneously ruling out and putting together word-object pairings, thus learning what's what.
