Studies show that using new spatial words, such as those for direction (e.g. around), size (e.g. big), location (e.g. next to) and shape (e.g. round), can aid infants in developing their language. Those infants who hear the unfamiliar spatial words will pay more attention to the novel relation than the familiar spatial relation. As a result, they will recognize the support relation (e.g. on) as related to the containment relation (e.g. in). For example, if infants hear the spatial word ‘under’ the first time as in the sentence ‘the sandals are under the table’, they will probably learn how to use such words for locating the items, even though they never hear the word ‘sandals’. In contrast, the infants who only hear the new count noun will not be able to learn the meaning and the links. Those words will help them recognize the relationship between objects and will improve their abilities in map reading and giving direction as well.
