Description: To investigate potential mechanisms claimed to support fast mapping in adults, we will add an FM-r learning condition to the previously pre-registered design. FM-r is identical to the FM condition, but it does not include the simultaneous presentation of a known referent picture beside the unknown item whose name is to-be-incidentally-learned. I pre-registered a replication proposal https://osf.io/6kmnf/ in March 2019 for an online study that aims to replicate and extend one of our previous Fast Mapping (FM) results. I am now pre-registering an additional learning condition to that protocol. The pre-registration of this additional condition, to be run in a between-participant design, is being made prior to data collection for any of the conditions, including those previously pre-registered.
