THE DEVELOPMENT OF OBJECT CATEGORIZATION IN YOUNG CHILDREN: HIERARCHICAL INCLUSIVENESS, AGE, PERCEPTUAL ATTRIBUTE, AND GROUP VERSUS INDIVIDUAL ANALYSES (2010, methodology): “This is because superordinate categories are thought to be linked less by perceptual and functional associations and more by abstract, conceptual connections (Mandler et al., 1991).”
On developing a knowledge base in infancy. (1998, background): “We had also not found differentiation within the plant domain in our studies of categorization in the second year ( Mandler et al., 1991 ). Therefore, in Experiment 3, we studied furniture, another artifact domain.”
Infants' use of object parts in early categorization. (1998, methodology): “Procedures for analyzing sequential touching were taken from those developed by Mandler et al. (1987) , which have been used subsequently in a number of categorizing studies (e.g., Bauer et al., 1995; Mandler & Bauer, 1988; Mandler et al., 1991; Poulin-Dubois et al., 1995 ).”
