By Land or by Sea: The Role of Perceptual Similarity in Infants' Categorization of Animals.
Oakes, Lisa M.; And Others
Developmental Psychology, v33 n3 p396-407 May 1997
Infants were familiarized with plastic animals from one of two categories (land or sea) that were judged similar or variable by adults. Infants were then tested with novel animals from the same or a different category. Thirteen-month-olds in the similar familiarization condition dishabituated to novel animals of a different category and, to a lesser extent, of the same category. (BC)
