English term

gazzer

English to Hungarian Social Sciences Psychology cognitive development
Once the child had learned which objects went which places, the adult announced her intention to "find the gazzer".

It must be a toy and the context talks about children around the age of two, but I haven't found what kind of toy it is, therefore I can't translate it.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

ez egy egyszeri alkalomra kitalált kifejezés

amihez egy tárgyat kapcsolnak hozzá ebben a kísérletben.

Ez egy nonce word, vagyis alkalmilag alkotott szó, "a word with a special meaning used for a special occasion".

http://www.angoltanszek.hu/szotar/?a=nonce word

Ez itt van leírva, amikor ezt egy szótanulásos kísérletben használták:

Previous studies have demonstrated that children aged 2;0 can learn new words in a variety of non-ostensive contexts. The current two studies were aimed at seeing if this was also true of children just beginning to learn words at 1;6.

In the first study an adult interacted with 48 children. She used a nonce word to announce her intention to find an object ('Let's find the gazzer'), picked up and rejected an object with obvious disappointment, and then gleefully found the target object (using no language).

Children learned the new word as well in this condition as in a condition in which the adult found the object immediately.

>>She used a nonce word to announce her intention to find an object ('Let's find the gazzer')<<

Alkotnak egy speciális jelentéssel bíró szót, aminek az a funkciója hogy a gyerekek hozzá kapcsolhassák a kísérletvezető szándékát - meg akarja keresni az adott tárgyat, ez a "gazzer" - de aztán csalódást okoz neki a tárgy, ezután pedig örül neki hogy megtalálja az eredeti céltárgyat (vidáman, szavak nélkül).

A kísérlet célja:

Previous studies have demonstrated that children aged 2;0 can learn new words in a variety of non-ostensive contexts. The current two studies were aimed at seeing if this was also true of children just beginning to learn words at 1;6.

Itt vannak rá példák:

In child development studies

Nonce words are sometimes used to study the development of language in children because they allow researchers to test how children treat words of which they have no prior knowledge. This permits inferences about the default assumptions children make about new word meanings, syntactic structure, etc.

Frequently used such words include "wug", "blicket", and "dax". Wug is among the earliest known nonce words used in language learning studies, and is best known for its use in Jean Berko's "Wug test", in which children were presented with a novel object, called a wug, and then shown multiple instances of the object and asked to complete a sentence that elicits a plural form—e.g., "This is a wug. Now there are two of them. There are two...?"

The use of the plural form "wugs" by the child suggests that they have applied a plural rule to the form, and that this knowledge is not specific to prior experience with the word but applies to all nouns, whether familiar or novel.

Examples of nonce words previously used in child developmental studies include: wug, blicket, dax, toma, pimwit, zav, speff, tulver, gazzer, fem, fendle, and tupa. [citation needed]

Azt egyelőre nem tudom, magyarul minek lehetne mondani... De ezek alapján gyakorlatilag bárminek.
