One set of 18 unfamiliar objects and two sets of 18 novel words used in the cross-situational word-learning tasks in Experiment 1, 2, and 3. All novel words followed English phonotactic rules, and were generated using a synthetic female voice. Participants were randomly assigned to one of two sets. In Experiments 1 and 2, words were randomly paired for each participant to generate 6 One-Word pairings (where a single label consistently co-occurred with a single object) and 6 Two-Word pairings (where two words consistently co-occurred with the same object). In Experiment 3, all words for One-Word objects were disyllabic with a vowel ending. Two-Word objects had one word that was of this structure, and a second word that was monosyllabic with the stop consonant ending /k/.
