Effects of Prototypicality on Categorization in 1- to 2-Year-Olds: Getting Down to Basic.

Bauer, Patricia J.; And Others

Cognitive Development, v10 n1 p43-68 Jan-Mar 1995

Tested 13-, 16-, and 20-month olds' and 24- and 28-month olds' categorization of global- and basic-level object sets composed of prototypical and nonprototypical exemplars. Findings offer new information on the effects of prototypicality and on the process of differentiation of early global categories into more specific basic-level ones. (DR)
