Data from “Object Labeling Activates Young Children’s Scale Errors at an Early Stage of Verb Vocabulary Growth”

When young children develop the ability to represent and interact with objects, scale errors, in which they attempt to act on miniature-sized artifacts in an impossible manner, are often observed. To investigate the relationships between scale errors and semantic representations activated by lexical cues, we performed studies while manipulating whether object labeling was provided (the noun and pronoun conditions) as a within-participant factor (Hagihara et al., 2022). The dataset included the scale error production of 72 Japanese toddlers aged from 18 to 30 months, with their vocabulary measures. This dataset is freely available so that other developmental psychologists can address related research questions. Published on 2022-10-07 11:21:20
