Abstract
Bilingual infants were found to demonstrate mutual exclusivity if the familiar item was known in their additional language; whilst only demonstrating a trend towards significance if the item was known in English or both languages. Additional analyses suggested the importance of language dominance in predicting performance on mutual exclusivity tasks.
