Neurophysiological evidence of single-shot semantic mapping in the developing brain by Marina J. Vasilyeva, Veronika M. Knyazeva, Elena D. Artemenko, Elena A. Vershinina, Ekaterina S. Garbaruk, Ekaterina S. Garbaruk, Maria Yu Boboshko, Maria Yu Boboshko, Aleksander A. Aleksandrov, Yury Shtyrov, Yury Shtyrov

“…This process is to a large degree mediated by a neurocognitive mechanism known as «fast mapping» (FM) which allows the child to quickly map new words onto neural representations after even a single exposure to them, using context-driven inference. However, the neurophysiological bases of this mechanism are still poorly understood. …”
