Research shows that infants who heard the new spatial word looked significantly longer at the novel relation than the familiar spatial relation. It implies that they learned to recognize the support relation as familiar relative to the containment relation. In contrast, those who viewed the events in silence and heard the new word as a count noun could not learn in such ways. Research results also show that labeling an event helps infants learn about what they see. Providing a spatial word, even an unfamiliar one, can help 18-month-old infants to recognize a support relation as familiar.
