“…Although the rapid increase in noun vocabulary size is a key marker reflecting changes in children's language abilities and most studies focused on basic abilities contributing to learning nouns efficiently (Gershkoff‐Stowe & Smith, 2004; Landau et al., 1988; Smith et al., 2002), we expect that scale errors are driven by a later change in those abilities. We posit that scale errors are more likely to be produced when children develop the ability to conceptually or linguistically dissociate object‐related features from objects themselves, such as semantic differentiation or abstraction (Hagihara & Sakagami, 2020; Hagihara, Yamamoto, et al., 2022; Werner & Kaplan, 1963). Acquiring language abilities, such as forming abstract concepts of object properties or actions, regardless of what objects are given may increase the probability of scale errors, as property or action concepts are sometimes activated exceedingly or too little, leading to the discarding of different aspects of objects.…”
