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

Hold your horses: how exposure to different items influences infant categorization. (2007, background): “…for example, infants' attention to the distinction between land animals and sea animals in an object-examining task depends on the variability of the familiarization stimuli (Oakes et al., 1997) and how frequently during familiarization particular items are presented (Oakes & Spalding, 1997).”
Infant Categorization of Faces: Ladies First. (2005, unknown): “The greater the perceptual similarity or prototypicality among category exemplars, the easier it is for infants to form a category because it is easier to form and diVerentiate between categories when the within-category similarity is maximized and the between-category similarity is minimized (e.g.,”
On developing a knowledge base in infancy. (1998, background): “finding similar to the latter was also reported by Oakes et al. (1997) for 10-month-olds.”
Evidence for knowledge-based category discrimination in infancy. (2002, methodology): “Following a similar line of reasoning, Oakes et al. (1997) tested 10- to 13-month-olds in an object-”
