Another way to ask: My child remembers the card’s position but cannot name the real object.

The direct answer
Meet the same word in a different, understandable setting, modelling it before observing. Recognising a familiar card and using the word with another picture, object or action can be practised separately.

How to think about it
After a bear card, try a toy bear, then another bear in a book. Change one condition at a time rather than adding unfamiliar words, complicated instructions and new pictures together. “Needs a model with a new picture” is a more precise observation than “has not learned it.”

Something to try
1. Begin with the familiar picture to establish the activity.
2. Replace it with an object and model the same word again.
3. Put the examples together and invite your child to find what the word refers to.

Scope and limits
This activity does not diagnose an ability or establish a memory problem from one observation.
