	Abstract: Learning to associate words to their meaning is a difficult task. Early word learning may be aided by the way in which adults talk to infants. Infants prefer infant-directed speech (IDS) over adult-directed speech (ADS), and evidence suggests the positive affect inherent to IDS drives this preference. Infants can form word-object associations in IDS, but we do not know what role affect plays on word learning. We tested 19-month-olds’ learning of word-object pairings when words were taught in a positive or neutral affect in ADS. No evidence of word learning was found. Results and future research implications are discussed.
