Looking-While-Listening
Infant or child views two pictures on a screen while hearing a spoken sentence labelling one of them; eye movements to the target picture are tracked over time. Developmental adaptation of the visual world paradigm, used to measure speed and accuracy of spoken-word recognition in young children. Standard in infant psycholinguistics; underpins the Peekbank repository of looking-while-listening datasets.
