THE DEVELOPMENT OF OBJECT CATEGORIZATION IN YOUNG CHILDREN: HIERARCHICAL INCLUSIVENESS, AGE, PERCEPTUAL ATTRIBUTE, AND GROUP VERSUS INDIVIDUAL ANALYSES (2010, background): “Children’s first lexical productions tend to be basic level nouns (Mervis, 1987).”
Word meaning in minds and machines (2020, background): “The requirement to use words the way adults do can act as a stimulus for children to distinguish objects in the world a certain way (Mervis, 1987).”
Geographical categories: an ontological investigation (2001, methodology): “It is these empirical methods which have been applied, in the studies of Keil (1979, 1987, 1989, 1994), Medin (Murphy and Medin 1985, Medin and Atran, 1999), Atran (1994). and others, to the task of eliciting the folk ontologies of na¨ve subjects in such areas as folk physics, folk biology and folk…”
Looks Aren't Everything: 24-Month-Olds' Willingness to Accept Unexpected Labels (2007, background): “In fact, in diary data from her son’s first 2 years, Mervis (1987; Mervis, Pani, & Pani, 2003) found that he often ignored corrections from his parents, behaving as if “categories should not be formed on the basis of adult labeling patterns alone” (Mervis, 1987, p. 213).”
A Biosemiotic and Ecological Approach to Music Cognition: Event Perception Between Auditory Listening and Cognitive Economy (2005, background): “The same holds true for listening to music (Neisser 1987; Martindale & Moore 1989; McAdams 1993; God.y 1999; Reybrouck 2001c) which can be defined in terms of organism-environment interaction – with the listener as the organism and the music as the environment.”
The Basis of Epistemic Trust: Reliable Testimony or Reliable Sources? (2007, background): “Thus, even in the early stages of categorization, children defer to expert authority (Neisser 1987).”
