THE DEVELOPMENT OF OBJECT CATEGORIZATION IN YOUNG CHILDREN: HIERARCHICAL INCLUSIVENESS, AGE, PERCEPTUAL ATTRIBUTE, AND GROUP VERSUS INDIVIDUAL ANALYSES (2010, background): “Jones and Smith (1993) succinctly argued this dynamic process view of categorization, asserting that categories are “emergent products of multiple knowledge sources in specific task contexts” (p. 136).”
The stability and flexibility of spatial categories. (2005, background): “What processes give rise to categories that are both stable and Xexible? In recent years, there has been a shift from viewing categories as static representations with inherent structures (e.g., Mandler, 1993; Mandler & McDonough, 1993; Mervis, 1985) toward viewing them as emergent products of cogni”
The Emergence of Category Representations During Infancy: Are Separate Perceptual and Conceptual Processes Required? (2000, background): “…of that which has been considered conceptual with that which is unquestionably perceptual, and the inclusion of representations of the latter nature as an integral part of cognition (Barsalou, 1999; Eimas, 1994; Goldstone & Barsalou, 1998; Jones & Smith, 1993; Quinn & Eimas, 1996b, 1997).”
Evidence for Task-Dependent Categorization in Infancy (1996, background): “…objectexamining sequential -touching conceptual development How infants and children form and represent categories has become the subject of extensive research and debate in recent years (e.g., Jones & Smith, 1993; Mandler, 1988, 1993; Quinn & Eimas, 1986; Younger & Cohen, 1985).”
Late talkers show no shape bias in a novel name extension task (2003, unknown): “Jones & Smith, 1993, 2002; Smith, Jones & Landau, 1996).”
Naming in young children: a dumb attentional mechanism? (1996, background): “We believe that well-documented, non-strategic forces on attention are sufficient to explain the extant data from the artificial word-learning task (Jones and Smith, 1993; Smith, 1995).”
Perceptual Features and the Development of Conceptual Knowledge (2006, background): “For example, Gelman (1990) reports that 3-year-olds assume that objects with eyes also have feet (see also Jones & Smith, 1993; Macario, 1991).”
How children know the relevant properties for generalizing object names (2002, background): “A number of researchers – for example, Jones et al. (1991), S.”
One cow does not an animal make: young children can extend novel words at the superordinate level. (2001, background): “However, when Jones and Smith (1993) added mean-”
Semantic feature production norms for a large set of living and nonliving things (2005, background): “…human participants has revealed that representations based on feature norms are probably best suited to capturing performance on certain types of tasks—namely, online recognition or semantic decision tasks, many of which use words as stimuli (Jones & Smith, 1993; McRae, de Sa, & Seidenberg, 1997).”
“Deep” and “Surface” Cues: Brand Extension Evaluations by Children and Adults (2002, background): “…research on categorization has demonstrated that as children mature, they tend to rely less on surface cues and more on deep cues to process information (e.g., Bruner et al. 1966; Jones and Smith 1993; Melkman, Tversky, and Baratz 1981; Parault and Schwanenflugel 2000; Whitney and Kunen 1983).”
The Semantics of English Prepositions: Spatial Scenes, Embodied Meaning, and Cognition (2003, background): “Work in developmental psychology indicates that the understanding and organization assigned to experiences with the spatio-physical world form the conceptual basis for much of language (e.g., Baillargeon, 1993, 1995; Baillargeon, Needham and DeVos, 1991; Bertenthal, 1993; Eimas and Quinn, 1994; Jone”
Looks Aren't Everything: 24-Month-Olds' Willingness to Accept Unexpected Labels (2007, background): “Even though perceptual similarity is normally a very good cue to category membership (e.g., Jones & Smith, 1993; Rosch, Mervis, Gray, Johnson, & Boyes-Braem, 1976), children tended to respond on the basis of the label, inferring that the rabbit-like squirrel would eat bugs like other squirrels.”
