Development of Categorization -‐ -‐ 1

چکیده
The ability to categorize is a ubiquitous property of human cognition. However, despite much progress in understanding how children learn to categorize, several important issues remain highly debated. The central issues in this debate concern the role of perceptual input and the role of linguistic labels in categorization and category learning. This chapter reviews recent evidence bearing on these key issues. Based on this evidence, we suggest that (1) categorization begins with extracting structure from the input based on overlapping perceptual features and attentional weights, and (2) development of the ability to selectively attend to some features while ignoring others underlies the learning of abstract concepts and categories.
