“…It could be argued that each new type of stimulus requires a methodological rethink as to how the parameters will affect infant responses. For example, although words are often explored in novelty/familiarity paradigms either in isolation (e.g., Hallé and de Boysson-Bardies, 1994 , 1996 ; Vihman et al, 2004 ; Swingley, 2005 ) or in passages of sentences containing target words (e.g., Jusczyk and Aslin, 1995 ; Jusczyk et al, 1999 ; Bortfeld et al, 2005 ; Singh, 2008 ; Singh et al, 2012 ; DePaolis et al, 2014 ), there are few methodological examinations of familiarity and novelty as they apply specifically to the developing lexicon. One exception is a computational model of factors affecting word segmentation in AHPP experiments ( Bergmann et al, 2013 ).…”
