Event categorization in infancy.
Recent research suggests that one of the mechanisms that contribute to infants' acquisition of their physical knowledge is the formation of event categories, such as occlusion and containment. Some of this research compared infants' identification of similar variables in different event categories. Marked developmental lags were found, suggesting that infants acquire event-specific rather than ...
متن کاملCategorization in infancy.
Human infants display complex categoriztion abilities. Results from studies of visual preference, object examination, conditioned leg-kicking, sequential touching, and generalized imitation reveal different patterns of category formation, with different levels of exclusivity in the category representations formed by infants at different ages. We suggest that differences in levels of exclusivity...
متن کاملMechanisms of Categorization in Infancy
This paper presents a connectionist model of correlation based categorization by 10month-old infants (Younger, 1985). Simple autoencoder networks were exposed to the same stimuli used to test 10-month-olds. The familiarisation regime was kept as close as possible to that used with the infants. The model’s performance matched that of the infants. Both infants and networks used co-variation infor...
متن کاملLinking language and categorization in infancy.
Language exerts a powerful influence on our concepts. We review evidence documenting the developmental origins of a precocious link between language and object categories in very young infants. This collection of studies documents a cascading process in which early links between language and cognition provide the foundation for later, more precise ones. We propose that, early in life, language ...
متن کاملProbabilistic Event Categorization
This paper describes the automation of a new text categorization task. The categories assigned in this task are more syntactically, semantically, and contextually complex than those typically assigned by fully automatic systems that process unseen test data. Our system for assigning these categories uses a probabilistic classifier, developed with a recent method for formulating a probabilistic ...
