Infant's Inductive Generalization of Bodily, Motion, and Sensory Properties to Animals and People (2006, background): “It is therefore difficult to decipher the nature of the properties underlying knowledge-based category discrimination (Mandler, 2000; Quinn & Eimas, 1996; Rakison & Butterworth, 1998).”
Evidence for knowledge-based category discrimination in infancy. (2002, methodology): “Using a sequential touching task, Rakison and Butterworth (1998a, 1998b) found that 14- and 18-month-olds behaved systematically toward categories with different parts (i.e., animals with legs versus vehicles with wheels), but did not do so toward objects with similar parts (animals with legs…”
Perceptual Features and the Development of Conceptual Knowledge (2006, background): “Eyes and wheels were chosen because research has demonstrated that very young children both attend to these properties and use them to classify animates and vehicles (Colunga, 2003; Jones & Smith, 1993; Rakison & Butterworth, 1998a, 1998b).”
Experience-Based and On-Line Categorization of Objects in Early Infancy (2010, methodology): “Using sequential touching, Rakison and Butterworth (1998) deduced that infants under 2 years attend, not to individual object parts per se, but to the structural configuration of the parts perceived as a whole, and Träuble and Pauen (2007) found that 1-year-olds categorized objects on the basis of…”
The Emergence of Category Representations During Infancy: Are Separate Perceptual and Conceptual Processes Required? (2000, background): “Consider the recent findings of Rakison and Butterworth (1998) on the categorization of toy objects by 14- to 22- month-old infants with the sequential touching procedure.”
Representation of the Gender of Human Faces by Infants: A Preference for Female (2002, background): “…Johnson 2000; Younger and Fearing 1999); (iii) the attributes that are the basis for the category representations of infants (Quinn and Eimas 1996a; Rakison and Butterworth 1998); and (iv) the mechanisms that enable the category representations of infants to develop into the knowledge-rich…”
