Detailed explanation-1: -Fast-mapping is the ability to acquire a word rapidly on the basis of minimal information. As proposed by Carey (1978), we assume that children are able to achieve fast-mapping because their initial word meanings are skeletal placeholders that will be extended gradually over time.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fast mapping is a cognitive mechanism that facilitates early understanding of word meaning following brief exposures to words and their referents (Carey & Bartlett, 1978). Fast mapping occurs when a child is exposed to an unknown word and infers its meaning given hislherestablished knowledge.
Detailed explanation-3: -Fast mapping is a two-step process. First, the child establishes a referent. So, you look at a referent and in this example, we’ll use a dog. So, the dog is the referent and the child establishes a definition for a dog.
Detailed explanation-4: -The process of rapidly learning a new word by contrasting it with a familiar word. This is an important tool that children use during language acquisition. An example would be presenting a young child with two toy animals-one a familiar creature (a dog) and one unfamiliar (a platypus).
