Object Naming

Object naming research investigates how humans and machines learn to associate words with objects, focusing on the interplay between visual perception, language acquisition, and cognitive development. Current studies employ computational models, often leveraging statistical learning and attention mechanisms within transformer architectures, to simulate and analyze this process, exploring factors like caregiver input and object familiarity. These findings are significant for understanding early childhood development and have practical implications for improving human-computer interaction, particularly in robotics and assistive technologies where robust object recognition and manipulation are crucial.
