Metaphor comprehension in children with and without autism spectrum disorder
2020, Research in Autism Spectrum DisordersCitation Excerpt :Metaphors are some of the most common examples of figurative language. In this paper, we will follow the proposals of Lakoff and Johnson (2003), corroborated by Gibbs, Beitel, Harrington, and Sanders (1994); Gibbs and Colston (1995); Mandler (1988, 1992, 2005, 2010), or Richardson, Spivey, Barsalou, and McRae (2003). For these authors, the metaphor is a cognitive resource that involves linking two apparently unrelated knowledge domains (the base term and the target term), functioning as an everyday tool to explain one domain in terms of another.
The roles of item repetition and position in infants’ abstract rule learning
2018, Infant Behavior and DevelopmentCitation Excerpt :To our knowledge, however, there are no published reports of transitional probability sensitivity in infants younger than 5 months. Taken together, then, extant literature and the current experiments provide little support for infant learning of abstract rules or transitional probabilities among items until the first several months after birth, and furthermore imply that what we might consider “perceptual primitives” such as repetition (Endress, Nespor, & Mehler, 2009; cf. Mandler, 1988, 1992) are detected and learned most effectively only in context. The context, which we consider next, includes the perceptual and cognitive capacities of infants, which change with development, and task conditions.
