Annotation The authors synthesize their work using the intermodal preferential looking paradigm to understand how childrens' sensitivities to syntactic information can be translated into organizing principles that encourage syntactic learning. They use the results of their empirical work to describe a theory of language learning that emphasizes the role of multiple cues and forces in development, showing how infants shift their reliance on different aspects of linguistic input. For cognitive and developmental psychologists. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
