The developmental origins of object categories: how motion cues and labels bootstrap early categorization skills
EF 2022-23
Résumé
Partitioning the world into meaningful categories is a challenging task, especially considering the vast amount of information that could be recruited in the process (Cohen Lupyan, Rakison Waxman 2003). However, the exact function of labelling is unclear as well as whether bilingual children benefit as much from language when forming categories given their strategy to map more than one word to an object. The series of studies to be conducted in the context of the current research program attempts to fill these gaps.
