Abstract
Word segmentation is a crucial step in children’s vocabulary learning. While computational models of word segmentation can capture infants’ performance in small-scale artificial tasks, the examination of early word segmentation in naturalistic settings has been limited by the lack of measures that can relate models’ performance to developmental data. Here, we extended CLASSIC (Jones et al., 2021) - a corpus-trained chunking model that can simulate several memory, phonological and vocabulary learning phenomena - to allow it to perform word segmentation using utterance boundary information (henceforth CLASSIC-UB). Further, we compared our model to children on a wide range of new measures, capitalizing on the link between word segmentation and vocabulary learning abilities. We show that the combination of chunking and utterance-boundary information used by CLASSIC-UB allows a better prediction of English-learning children's output vocabulary than other models.
