THE DEVELOPMENT OF OBJECT CATEGORIZATION IN YOUNG CHILDREN: HIERARCHICAL INCLUSIVENESS, AGE, PERCEPTUAL ATTRIBUTE, AND GROUP VERSUS INDIVIDUAL ANALYSES (2010, background): “Mandler and Bauer (1988) observed that 12- to 20-montholds alike categorized first at middle levels of inclusiveness, whereas only 20-month-olds succeeded at higher levels of inclusiveness; later, Bauer et al. (1995, Table 2) reported that 13-montholds categorized middle-level but not more inclusive”
TouchStat: A Monte Carlo program for calculating sequential touching probabilities (1998, background): “Objects from differ ent superordinate categories such as "animals" and "ve hicles" might be contrasted, as might objects from within a single superordinate category, such as "dogs" or "horses" (Bauer et al., 1995; Mandler & Bauer, 1988).”
Infants' use of object parts in early categorization. (1998, methodology): “A recent study by Bauer et al. (1995) found that 16-and 20-month-olds categorized successfully on a prototypical contrast of animals and vehicles but failed to do so on a nonprototypical contrast of those domains.”
Infant Categorization of Faces: Ladies First. (2005, unknown): “…prototypicality of category exemplars aids categorization has received much support from the literature with infants, older children, and adults (Bauer et al., 1995; Ellis & Nelson, 1999; Medin & SchaVer, 1978; Oakes et al., 1997; Oakes & Spalding, 1997; Quinn et al., 1993; Roberts & Horowitz,…”
