Word learning strategies in early childhood : mutual exclusivity across language backgrounds
… monolingual children differed in their use of mutual exclusivity, and their interpretation of novel labels when word learning heuristics were combined. Specifically, these experiments investigated the importance of label knowledge for mutual exclusivity (Chapter 2), and the role of animacy when …

The use of word-learning principles in young monolingual and bilingual children
Adherence to the mutual exclusivity principle, which states that each object category can have only one name, has been demonstrated in toddlers and preschool-aged children. Studies of mutual exclusivity in bilingual children over 3.5 years have generally found a tendency to honour the principle …

The influence of long-term exposure to dialect variation on representation specificity and word learning in toddlers.
… (Experiments 3 and 4) and use of the Mutual Exclusivity strategy in novel word learning (Experiment 5). Results show that there are differences between the two dialect groups (monodialectal and multidialectal) in a mispronunciation detection task but that toddlers perform similarly …

Determining therapeutically actionable genetic interactions in human cancer at scale using multiplexed CRISPR screening
… bioinformatic analyses. The first leveraged mutual exclusivity and co-occurrence analysis of genetic alterations across thousands of sequenced cancer genomes (Chapter 2), while the second utilised a machine-learning classifier to predict SL among paralog pairs, prioritising those with …

An investigation into the association between qualitatively different perceptions of the learning context and students' approaches to studying
… that exists between paradigms is not one of mutual exclusivity; rather it is synergetic in nature with developments in one informing advances in another. The perspective adopted in this thesis research is grounded in the naturalistic investigations into student learning in higher education …

Using a Fast Mapping Approach to Investigate Children’s Learning about Artefacts
… novel action to a novel referent (i.e., applied mutual exclusivity). Children chose the novel artefact significantly more often than chance. Experiments 2 and 3 used tests of comprehension and extension to investigate whether children fast map novel artefact names and actions. I used a strict …

Learning with structured decision constraints
… such as implication, transitivity and mutual exclusivity, can be embedded in convex cones under a class of linear structured prediction models. The approach is also applicable to general affine constraints in vector regression tasks. Part 2 concerns the estimation of a rank-based choice …

Pragmatic word learning in monolingual and bilingually exposed children
… Despite this, and a lesser ability to rely on mutual exclusivity, bilingual children are able to quickly acquire a similar, and often greater vocabulary than their monolingual peers (De Houwer, Bornstein, & Putnick, 2014; Umbel, Pearson, Fernández, & Oller, 1992). A range of studies …

A Compendium of Genetic Drivers for Oesophageal Adenocarcinoma defines Prognostic and Therapeutic Biomarkers for use in the Clinic
… synonymous mutation ratios (dN/dS). We observed mutual exclusivity or co-occurrence of events within and between several dysregulated OAC pathways, a result suggestive of strong functional relationships. Indicators of poor prognosis (SMAD4 and GATA4) were verified in independent cohorts with …

Relationship Between Students' Proof Schemes and Definitions
This research investigates relationships between undergraduate students' understanding of proof and how this understanding relates to their conceptions of mathematical definitions. Three students in an introductory proofs course were each interviewed three times in order to assess their proof …
