Cambiamenti nello sviluppo semantico in bambini di 3, 4 e 5 anni.
In this study we assessed several types of semantic abilities: identifying associative
links between objects and situations, categorizing objects using taxonomic relationships,
memorizing links between cue objects and target words, verbal explaining
of objects categorization, defining words. Testing 150 children aged 3, 4 and 5 years
we found that each age group differed from the others in terms of both the number
of objects correctly associated to situations and the number of taxonomic relationships
used to categorize objects. In each age group the associative links between cues and
target words were more powerful than taxonomic links which in turn worked better
402
than arbitrary links in facilitating the children’s encoding and retrieval of target words.
The verbal explicitation of taxonomic relationships and the word definition based on
linguistic relations showed a notable development only in the 5-year-old
