    Rhythm May Be Key to Linking Language and Cognition in Young Infants: Evidence From Machine Learning.Joseph C. Y. Lau, Alona Fyshe & Sandra R. Waxman - 2022 - Frontiers in Psychology 13.
    Rhythm is key to language acquisition. Across languages, rhythmic features highlight fundamental linguistic elements of the sound stream and structural relations among them. A sensitivity to rhythmic features, which begins in utero, is evident at birth. What is less clear is whether rhythm supports infants' earliest links between language and cognition. Prior evidence has documented that for infants as young as 3 and 4 months, listening to their native language supports the core cognitive capacity of object categorization. This precocious link (...)

    Developmental origin of a language–cognition interface in infants: Gateway to advancing core knowledge?Sandra R. Waxman - 2024 - Behavioral and Brain Sciences 47:e145.
    Spelke's sweeping proposal requires greater precision in specifying the place of language in early cognition. We now know by 3 months of age, infants have already begun to forge a link between language and core cognition. This precocious link, which unfolds dynamically over development, may indeed offer an entry point for acquiring higher-order, abstract conceptual and representational capacities.

    Questions about concepts bring into play all the cognitive science disciplines. For many centuries, concepts belonged to philosophy; but more recently, these original caretakers have shared responsibility for this domain with cognitive and developmental psychology, linguistics, artificial intelligence, anthropology, and neuroscience. Each of these fields has offered insights into these building blocks of thought, and each has contributed a unique perspective on fundamental questions about the nature of minds. However, the integrative approach of cognitive science holds the promise of providing (...)

    Word extension: A key to early word learning and domain-specificity.Sandra R. Waxman - 2001 - Behavioral and Brain Sciences 24 (6):1121-1122.
    Bloom provides a masterful synthesis of recent advances in word-learning, placing them within the framework of abiding theoretical issues. I will augment and challenge his approach by underscoring the significance of word extension for questions concerning (a) the origin and evolution of infants' expectations, and (b) domain-specificity in word-learning.

    The precision of 12-month-old infants’ link between language and categorization predicts vocabulary size at 12 and 18 months. [REVIEW]Brock Ferguson, Mélanie Havy & Sandra R. Waxman - 2015 - Frontiers in Psychology 6:156736.
    Infants’ initially broad links between language and object categories are increasingly tuned, becoming more precise by the end of their first year. In a longitudinal study, we asked whether individual differences in the precision of infants’ links at 12 months of age are related to vocabulary development. We found that, at 12 months, infants who had already established a precise link between labels and categories understood more words than those whose link was still broad. Six months later, this advantage held: (...)
