Child Meets Work: "Fast Mapping" in Preschool Children.

Dollahan, Chris

Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, v28 n3 p449-54 Sep 1985

The study involving 35 normal preschoolers suggested that normal preschoolers appear to create faster mappings (rapid creating of lexical representations for unfamiliar words) containing a great deal of linguistic and nonlinguistic information on the basis of even brief, casual encounters with new words.
