Reason for Corrigendum:
Due to an oversight by the authors, Figures 3, 4 were switched. Figure 3 displays the results of Experiment 1 (Mandarin-English bilingual infants) and Figure 4 displays the results of Experiment 2 (Mandarin monolingual infants). The authors apologize for this mistake. This error does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way.
