In five experiments, we reconciled these results with another study showing that English (egocentric) and Tseltal Mayan (geocentric) speakers can flexibly use both systems (Li et al., 2011; Abarbanell, 2010). In replicating and extending Haun et al. (Experiment 1), English- but not Tseltal-speaking children could use their language-incongruent system when the instructions used their non-preferred frame of reference. Perseveration due to task order may explain the discrepancies between present English- and previous Dutch-speaking children, while not understanding task instructions using left/right language may explain why present Tseltal- and previous Hai||om-speaking children had difficulty with their language-incongruent systems. In support, Tseltal-speaking children could use an egocentric system when the instructions were conveyed without left/right language (Experiments 2-4), and many did not know left/right language (Experiment 5). These findings help reconcile seemingly conflicting sets of results and suggest that task constraints, rather than language, determine which system is easier (Experiment 2 vs. 3). \  }, url = {https://authors.elsevier.com/a/1Vkuf2Hx2XnYL}, author = {Peggy Li and Linda Abarbanell} } @article {337706, title = {{\textquoteright}Two pounds cookies{\textquoteright} or {\textquoteright}two pounds of cookies{\textquoteright}: Children{\textquoteright}s appreciation of quantity expressions}, journal = {Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics}, volume = {24}, number = {4}, year = {2017}, month = {2016}, pages = {400-416}, author = {Foushee, R. and Falkou, N. and Li, P.} } @article {425216, title = {Frames of reference in spatial language acquisition}, journal = {Cognitive Psychology}, year = {2016}, pages = {115-161}, url = {http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0010028516301190}, author = {Anna Shusterman and Peggy Li} } @inbook {337656, title = {A framework for work on frames of reference}, booktitle = {Core Knowledge \& Conceptual Change}, year = {2016}, pages = {188-202}, publisher = {Oxford University Press}, organization = {Oxford University Press}, author = {Shusterman, A. and Li, P.} } @article {337701, title = {Numerical Morphology Supports Early Number Word Learning:Evidence from a Comparison of Young Mandarin and English Learners}, journal = {Cognitive Psychology}, volume = {88}, year = {2016}, month = {2016}, pages = {162-186}, author = {LeCorre, M. and Li, P. and Huang, B. and Jia, G. and Carey, S.} } @booklet {337721, title = {L1 Acquisition of Classifiers and Count-Mass Distinctions (Mandarin)}, year = {2015}, url = {http://referenceworks.brillonline.com/entries/encyclopedia-of-chinese-language-and-linguistics/l1-acquisition-of-classifiers-and-count-mass-distinction-mandarin-COM_000101}, author = {Li, P. and Cheung, P.} } @booklet {337716, title = {Sentence Processing, Classifiers and Count-Mass Distinction, Behavioral Studies}, journal = {Encyclopedia of Chinese Language and Linguistics}, year = {2015}, url = {http://referenceworks.brillonline.com/entries/encyclopedia-of-chinese-language-and-linguistics/sentence-processing-classifiers-and-count-mass-distinction-behavioral-studies-COM_000084}, author = {Li, P.} } @proceedings {337736, title = {Exploring language and thought relation in learning how stuff counts}, journal = {Boston University Child Language Conference}, year = {2013}, pages = {456-468}, publisher = {S.
