Infants' Attention to Object Structure in Early Categorization.
Rakison, David H.; Butterworth, George E.
Developmental Psychology, v34 n6 p1310-25 Nov 1998
Examined infants' categorization using object manipulation tasks that involved objects that were models of animals, vehicles, or furniture. Objects were normal, had anomalous moving parts (such as a dog with wheels), or had different textures. Found that 14- to 22-month olds attended to the parts and structural configuration of objects, but not to their texture. (BC)
