The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Evidence for knowledge-based category discrimination in infancy. (2002, background): “Both observers recorded examining time, defined as the time during which a given child was concentrating on and inspecting the object (Oakes et al., 1991; Oakes & Tellinghuisen, 1994).”
On developing a knowledge base in infancy. (1998, methodology): “In these experiments we used an objectexamining task ( Oakes, Madole, & Cohen, 1991; Ruff, 1986), in which infants were presented with a series of realistic models of animals and then given a new animal and a vehicle one at a time (or, alternatively, they were presented with vehicles and then given”
Evidence for Task-Dependent Categorization in Infancy (1996, methodology): “In previous studies, coders have had little trouble reliably identifying examining (e.g., Madole, Oakes, & Cohen, 1993; Mandler & McDonough, 1993; Oakes et al., 1991; Oakes & Tellinghuisen, 1994; Ruff, 1986; Ruff, Saltarelli, Capozzoli, & Dubiner.”
TouchStat: A Monte Carlo program for calculating sequential touching probabilities (1998, methodology): “…and vi sual-habituation techniques to investigate conceptual de velopment in children as young as 6 or 7 months of age (Mandler & McDonough, 1993; Oakes et al., 1991; Ross, 1980; Ruff, 1986; Waxman & Markow, 1995), and re search employing a visual habituation-dishabituation paradigm points to at…”
