Which Aspects of Visual Motivation Aid the Implicit Learning of Signs at First Exposure?
Language Learning, Volume 73, Issue S1, Page 33-63, December 2023., 2023 Abstract We investigated whether sign‐naïve learners can infer and learn the meaning of signs after minimal exposure to continuous, naturalistic input in the form of a weather forecast in Swedish Sign Language. Participants were L1‐English adults. Two experimental groups watched the forecast once (n = 40) or twice (n = 42); a control group did not (n =

Effects of Iconicity in Recognition Memory
Cognitive Science, Volume 47, Issue 11, November 2023., 2023 Abstract Iconicity refers to a resemblance between word form and meaning. Previous work has shown that iconic words are learned earlier and processed faster. Here, we examined whether iconic words are recognized better on a recognition memory task. We also manipulated the level at which items were encoded—with a focus on either their meaning or their ...

The Iconicity Ring Hypothesis Bridges the Gap Between Symbol Grounding and Linguistic Relativity
Topics in Cognitive Science, Volume 15, Issue 4, Page 676-682, October 2023., 2023 Abstract Kemmerer captured the drastic change in theories of word meaning representations, contrasting the view that word meaning representations are amodal and universal, with the view that they are grounded and language‐specific. However, he does not address how language can be simultaneously grounded and language‐specific.

But does iconicity in spoken language have a special status when it comes to learnability?
