Experience-Based and On-Line Categorization of Objects in Early Infancy (2010, methodology): “Using an object-examining task, Pauen (2002) observed that 10- to 11-month-old infants responded to the distinction between furniture and animals both when between-category exemplars shared several perceptual properties and when they shared few.”
Semantic Cognition: A Parallel Distributed Processing Approach (2004, result): “As previously mentioned, consistent findings have recently been reported independently by Pauen (2002b), and findings in a related study (Pauen, 2002a) suggest that infants’ responses in the sorts of tasks used in these studies can reflect semantic, and not only perceptual, similiarity.”
Developmental Continuity in Teleo-Functional Explanation: Reasoning about Nature Among Romanian Romani Adults (2008, background): “…that infants and young children both distinguish between natural objects and artifacts (e.g., Gelman & Wellman, 1991; Massey & Gelman, 1988; Pauen, 2002) and recognize that people tend to make artifacts but not natural entities (Gelman & Kremer, 1991; Kelemen & DiYanni, 2005; for an…”
Developing Object Concepts in Infancy: An Associative Learning Perspective (2008, background): “Mechanisms of Early Concept Development According to one prominent view, the complexity of the input, among other things, implies that concept formation must be supported by specialized, domain-specific mechanisms (Baillargeon, 1999; Gelman, 1990; Gelman et al., 1995; Leslie, 1995; Mandler, 1992; 20”
Précis of Semantic Cognition: A Parallel Distributed Processing Approach (2008, background): “In contrast, recent studies by Pauen (2002a, 2002b) suggest that, when perceptual similarity is closely controlled, preverbal infants in object-manipulation tasks differentiate more general semantic categories prior to basiclevel categories.”
