Novel Word Learning- Article Search

[C. L. Hudson Kam]

Jennifer,
You might want to look in studies of artificial language learning as well
as studies of word learning. I've done something like that in some of my
own work with slightly older children (not focused on vocabulary), which
I've attached.
