Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Constraints on language learning are principles or tendencies that guide how children infer the meanings of new words. Options A, B, and D describe such constraints: whole-object assumption (A), mutual exclusivity (B), and the principle that new words are not immediately treated as synonyms for known words (D). Option C, however, does not describe a recognized constraint on language learning; it inaccurately suggests that children ignore novel words unless there is direct pointing, which contradicts evidence that children can learn words through various contexts and cues, not solely through direct pointing.
