A recent study by Ponari, Norbury, and Vigliocco (2018), showed that emotional valence (i.e. whether a word evokes positive, negative, or no affect) predicts age-of-acquisition ratings and that up to the age of 8-9, children know abstract emotional words better than neutral ones. On the basis of these findings, emotional valence has been argued to provide a bootstrapping mechanism for the acquisition of abstract concepts. However, no previous work has directly assessed whether words' valence, or valence of the context in which words are used, facilitates learning of unknown abstract words. Here, we investigate whether valence supports acquisition of novel abstract concepts. Seven to 10 year old children were taught novel abstract words and concepts (words typically learned at an older age that the children did not know); words were either valenced (positive or negative) or neutral. We also manipulated the context in which words were presented: For 1 group of children, the teaching strategy emphasized emotional information; for the other, it emphasized encyclopedic, nonemotional information. Abstract words with emotional valence were learned better than neutral abstract words by children up to the age of 8-9, replicating previous findings; no effect of teaching strategy was found. These results indicate that emotional valence supports abstract concepts acquisition and further suggest that it is the valence information intrinsic to the word's meaning to have a role, rather than the valence of the context in which the word is learned.

情感效价在学习新的抽象概念中的作用。

Ponari、Norbury 和 Vigliocco(2018 年)最近的一项研究表明,情绪效价(即一个词是否会引起积极、消极或没有影响)可以预测获得年龄的评级,而在 8-9 岁之前,儿童比中性词更了解抽象的情感词。在这些发现的基础上,有人认为情绪效价为抽象概念的获得提供了一种引导机制。然而,之前的工作没有直接评估单词的效价或使用单词的上下文的效价是否有助于学习未知的抽象词。在这里,我们研究效价是否支持获得新的抽象概念。向 7 至 10 岁的儿童教授新颖的抽象词和概念(通常是孩子不知道的在较大年龄学习的词);词要么是化合价的(正面或负面),要么是中性的。我们还操纵了呈现词语的上下文:对于 1 组儿童,教学策略强调情感信息;另一方面,它强调百科全书式的、非情感信息。8-9 岁的儿童学习具有情感效价的抽象词比中性抽象词的学习效果更好,重复了之前的研究结果;没有发现教学策略的影响。这些结果表明,情感效价支持抽象概念的习得,并进一步表明,起作用的是单词含义内在的效价信息,而不是学习单词的上下文的效价。(PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA,保留所有权利)。我们还操纵了呈现词语的上下文:对于 1 组儿童,教学策略强调情感信息;另一方面,它强调百科全书式的、非情感信息。8-9 岁的儿童学习具有情感效价的抽象词比中性抽象词的学习效果更好,重复了之前的研究结果;没有发现教学策略的影响。这些结果表明,情感效价支持抽象概念的习得,并进一步表明,起作用的是单词含义内在的效价信息,而不是学习单词的上下文的效价。(PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA,保留所有权利)。我们还操纵了呈现词语的上下文:对于 1 组儿童,教学策略强调情感信息;另一方面,它强调百科全书式的、非情感信息。8-9 岁的儿童学习具有情感效价的抽象词比中性抽象词的学习效果更好,重复了之前的研究结果;没有发现教学策略的影响。这些结果表明,情感效价支持抽象概念的习得,并进一步表明,起作用的是单词含义内在的效价信息,而不是学习单词的上下文的效价。(PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA,保留所有权利)。它强调百科全书式的非情感信息。8-9 岁的儿童学习具有情感效价的抽象词比中性抽象词的学习效果更好,重复了之前的研究结果;没有发现教学策略的影响。这些结果表明,情感效价支持抽象概念的习得,并进一步表明,起作用的是单词含义内在的效价信息,而不是学习单词的上下文的效价。(PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA,保留所有权利)。它强调百科全书式的非情感信息。8-9 岁的儿童学习具有情感效价的抽象词比中性抽象词的学习效果更好,重复了之前的研究结果;没有发现教学策略的影响。这些结果表明,情感效价支持抽象概念的习得,并进一步表明,起作用的是单词含义内在的效价信息,而不是学习单词的上下文的效价。(PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA,保留所有权利)。这些结果表明,情感效价支持抽象概念的习得,并进一步表明,起作用的是单词含义内在的效价信息,而不是学习单词的上下文的效价。(PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA,保留所有权利)。这些结果表明,情感效价支持抽象概念的习得,并进一步表明,起作用的是单词含义内在的效价信息,而不是学习单词的上下文的效价。(PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA,保留所有权利)。
