The approach used and discussed here is one that simulates early lexicalacquisition from a neural point of view. We use a hierarchy of artificialcortical maps that builds and develops models of artificial learners that aresubsequently trained to recognize objects, their names, and then the adjectivespertaining to their color. Results of the model can explain what has emerged ina series of developmental research studies in early language acquisition, andcan account for the different developmental patterns followed by children inacquiring nouns and adjectives, by perceptually driven associational learningprocesses at the synaptic level.
