Children can use gaze direction, body orientation, and index‐finger pointing as cues to map words onto objects.
“Children can use gaze direction, body orientation, and index‐finger pointing as cues to map words onto objects (e.g., Baldwin et al., 1996; Grassmann & Tomasello, 2010; Kory Westlund et al., 2017; Verhagen et al., 2019).”

Naming combined with a nonverbal cue toward or with the object could reduce the referential ambiguity in the learning context.
“In addition, naming combined with a nonverbal cue toward or with the object could reduce the referential ambiguity in the learning context (Baldwin et al., 1996; Grassmann & Tomasello, 2010; Kory Westlund et al., 2017; Verhagen et al., 2019).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
