We examined the mental processes involved in spoken-word recognition in toddlers. The adult four-picture Visual World Paradigm was adapted for toddlers. Toddlers attended to a phonological match sooner than a semantic (taxonomic or thematic) match. Fixations to a phonological match were positively correlated with vocabulary size. Language biases toddlers’ attention to phonologically- and semantically-relevant visual information.
