Here we present a novel approach that models translation equivalent knowledge as a function of bilinguals’ own vocabulary size in each language. Our novel insight is that learning a translation equivalent pair can be described as the joint probability of learning each of the words in the pair.

Our findings revealed that form-similar cognates are produced more readily in bilingual infant vocabulary development than non-cognate translation equivalents: effects are small at younger ages, and grow over time.

Using a multi-lab collaborative approach, we investigated whether language experience could affect the development of gaze-following. Independent of monolingual or bilingual status, early gaze-following development is significantly modulated by age-related changes.
