Seeing Is Not the Same as Thinking: Commentary on "Making Sense of Infant Categorization."

Mandler, Jean M.

Developmental Review, v19 n2 p297-306 Jun 1999

Maintains that Madole and Oakes' hypotheses are incorrect. Shows that conceptual development frequently goes from the abstract to the concrete and that extensive literature shows that there is more than one kind of categorization. Discusses ways in which perceptual and conceptual categorization differ. (Author/KB)
