| Challenge: | Existing word learning strategies for infants are cross-linguistically robust . infants do not know which language(s) will be found in their environment at the beginning of development . |
| Approach: | They propose to use 11 conceptually diverse algorithms to learn word-like units in infants . they propose to employ cross-linguistically robust algorithms that can be used by all infants. |
| Outcome: | The proposed algorithms perform above chance on 8 different languages . the results show that some of the algorithms are cross-linguistically valid . |
