Developmental Changes in Infant Spatial Categorization: When More Is Best and When Less Is Enough
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Casasola, Marianella; Park, Youjeong – Child Development, 2013
Two experiments examined infants' ability to form a spatial category when habituated to few (only 2) or many (6) exemplars of a spatial relation. Sixty-four infants of 10 months and 64 infants of 14 months were habituated to dynamic events in which a toy was placed in a consistent spatial relation ("in" or "on") to a referent…

Six-Month-Old Infants' Categorization of Containment Spatial Relations.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Casasola, Marianella; Cohen, Leslie B.; Chiarello, Elizabeth – Child Development, 2003
Two experiments examined six-month-olds' ability to form an abstract containment category. Results indicated that, after habituation to object pairs in a containment relation, infants looked reliably longer at an example of an unfamiliar versus familiar containment relation, indicating that they could form a categorical representation of…

When Less Is More: How Infants Learn to Form an Abstract Categorical Representation of Support
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Casasola, Marianella – Child Development, 2005
Two experiments explored how infants learn to form an abstract categorical representation of support (i.e., on) when habituated to few (i.e., 2) or many (i.e., 6) examples of the relation. When habituated to 2 pairs of objects in a support relation, 14-month-olds, but not 10-month-olds, formed the abstract spatial category (i.e., generalized the…
