Three-Month-Old Infants' Categorization of Animals and Vehicles Based on Static and Dynamic Attributes.

Arterberry, Martha E.; Bornstein, Marc H.

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v80 n4 p333-46 Dec 2001

Investigated 3-month-olds' categorization of animals and vehicles based on static and dynamic attributes. Found that regardless of viewing static or dynamic displays, infants showed habituation to varying exemplars from the same category, dishabituated to an exemplar from a novel category, and showed a novelty preference for a novel-category exemplar.
