ABSTRACT
For example, we can imagine a situation in which the rst three instances of the word baby that a learner encounters are produced by talkers wearing an item of red clothing. e what question essentially asks if the learner would consider, even briey, the possibility that red clothing is a dimension to consider when determining which word he or she is hearing. e how question asks how, assuming that learners do consider red clothing as a linguistically relevant dimension, they could determine that this hypothesis is incorrect.
