The purpose of this research was to explore the kind of information Spanish-speaking 3-year-old children and adults use when learning adjectives in a joint picturebook reading situation. The impact of two linguistic clues was studied; a morphological clue (adjective suffix) and a semantic clue (descriptive information concerning the property). Results show that for children the description was decisive to map the new adjective with the property; for adults, instead, the presence of the suffix was crucial. These results illustrate a developmental shift in the sort of clues that shapes adjective learning.

讲西班牙语的儿童和成人的形容词学习。形态学和语义信息的影响。

这项研究的目的是探讨在共同的图画书阅读情况下学习西班牙语的形容词时，会说西班牙语的3岁儿童和成人使用的信息种类。研究了两种语言线索的影响；形态学线索（形容词后缀）和语义线索（有关属性的描述性信息）。结果表明，对于儿童来说，描述对于将新形容词与属性进行映射是决定性的；对于成年人来说，后缀的存在至关重要。这些结果说明了形容词学习的线索的发展变化。
