Developmental origin of the animate-inanimate distinction. (2001, methodology): “…from generalized imitation tasks that 14-month-olds correctly extend modeled properties of animals or vehicles to novel category members (e.g., Mandler & McDonough, 1996, 1998); for example, having seen an experimenter model an animal drinking from a cup, infants are more likely to generalize…”
Perceptual and Conceptual Processes in Infancy (2000, methodology): “We have been exploring the associative generalizations that infants make about objects such as dogs and cats by having them imitate simple events using little models of the real objects (Mandler & McDonough, 1996a, 1998b; McDonough & Mandler, 1998).”
Hold your horses: how exposure to different items influences infant categorization. (2007, background): “Often, in this procedure, only the portion of looking judged to be examining or focused attention is coded (Mandler & McDonough, 1998; Mareschal et al., 2003).”
Infant's Inductive Generalization of Bodily, Motion, and Sensory Properties to Animals and People (2006, methodology): “The two bodily activities were demonstrated as described in Mandler and McDonough (1996, 1998b).”
On the Birth and Growth of Concepts (2008, methodology): “Systematic use of this technique has shown that ‘basic-level’ artifact concepts such as cup, pan, bed and so on are not well-established until the middle of the second year, and natural kind concepts such as dog and tree tend to be even later (Mandler & McDonough, 1998b, 2000).”
Evidence for knowledge-based category discrimination in infancy. (2002, methodology): “Mandler and McDonough (1993, 1998) proposed that Pauen 1031 infants may be specifically interested in whether an object is able to perform self-initiated movement (see also Pauen, 2001; Premack, 1990; Spelke, Phillips, & Woodward, 1995).”
The global-to-basic level shift in infants’ categorical thinking: First evidence from a longitudinal study (2002, methodology): “The general nding of an increase in mean examination time over the three critical test trials replicates earlier results obtained with 11-month-olds (see Mandler & McDonough, 1998; Pauen, 1997).”
Bases for Object Individuation in Infancy: Evidence From Manual Search (2000, background): “Infants clearly differentiated the outcomes, searching longer when a second object should have been in the box (two-object/unexpected outcomes) than when the box should have been empty (one-object/expected and two-object/expected outcomes).”
