Title
Modeling the acquisition of mental state verbs
Abstract
Children acquire mental state verbs (MSVs) much later than other, lower-frequency, words. One factor proposed to contribute to this delay is that children must learn various semantic and syntactic cues that draw attention to the difficult-to-observe mental content of a scene. We develop a novel computational approach that enables us to explore the role of such cues, and show that our model can replicate aspects of the developmental trajectory of MSV acquisition.
