What is it about?
Children struggle to learn adjectives compared to nouns. This study used a forced-choice pointing task to determine if children learn adjectives more effectively in prenominal or postnominal constructions, or if children learn equally well regardless of word order.
Why is it important?
The findings of these studies suggest that word order may significantly impact the ability to learn adjectives in young children.
