Mutual exclusivity (psychology)
[edit]- ... that mutual exclusivity (psychology) is a word learning bias to assign only one name to an object rather than multiple names? "Markman, E.M., Wasow, J.L., & Hansen, M.B. (2003). Use of the mutual exclusivity assumption by young word learners. Cognitive Psychology, 47, 241-275."

Much of the article is unreferenced, including almost entire sections. There needs to be an inline citation after every paragraph at minimum. The hook is at the very least cited. All of the sources are referenced as if they are offline, but I managed to quickly find an online reference for the 12th reference. It seems highly likely that more of these sources are available online. SL93 (talk) 23:37, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
- Note that Thefreshtrumpet hasn't edited since making this nomination (which I believe was part of a university assignment). 97198 (talk) 11:22, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
It has been over two weeks since the above was posted, the nominator still has not edited on Wikipedia and no one else has edited the article. The course ended on the very day the article was expanded and this nomination was posted. Given the inadequate sourcing at the present time, I think it's time to mark this for closure as unsuccessful; I can't imagine that, over six weeks after the course concluded, the nominator will be returning.
