Abstract

4-month-old English-acquiring infants will view a 2-minute storybook video narrated in Cantonese, and then complete an object categorization task while listening to Cantonese. Should this brief exposure enable infants to successfully categorize, this will reflect the powerful role of experience in early cognitive development.
