The experiments described in the lead articles by Kowalski and Zimiles and by O'Hanlon and Roberson examine factors that lead to color term acquisition. These experiments touch on the debate regarding the relative contributions of language and concepts in word learning. In this reflection, we examine how conclusions concerning the debate depend deeply on the particular task presented to children, and we propose an alternative approach to studying color term acquisition.
科瓦尔斯基、齐米莱斯以及奥汉隆、罗伯逊在头条文章中描述的实验,研究了导致颜色词习得的因素。这些实验涉及了关于语言和概念在词汇学习中相对贡献的争论。在这篇思考文章中,我们探讨了关于这场争论的结论如何在很大程度上取决于呈现给儿童的特定任务,并且我们提出了一种研究颜色词习得的替代方法。
