On Having Complex Representations of Things: Preschoolers Use Multiple Words for Objects and People.
Deak, Gedeon O.; Maratsos, Michael
Developmental Psychology, v34 n2 p224-40 Mar 1998
Two experiments examined preschoolers' ability to apply multiple labels to representational objects and to people. Found that preschoolers reliably produced or accepted several words per entity and accepted a high percentage of class-inclusive and overlapping word pairs. The mean number of words produced in labeling task was related to receptive vocabulary but not to appearance-reality task performance. (Author/KB)
