一系列的实验考察了婴儿形成对上方和下方空间关系的分类表征的能力。实验1提供的证据表明，3至4个月大的婴儿可以形成分类表示的上方和下方时，钻石形状的上方或下方的水平酒吧。实验2和3表明，3个月和4个月大的婴儿没有形成分类表示的上方和下方时，一些可辨别的不同形状（例如，菱形、三角形、点）出现在条的上方或下方。这些更抽象的范畴表征的上方和下方的形成6至7个月大的婴儿（实验4）。研究结果表明，一个经验或成熟的趋势，从具体到抽象，在共同的空间关系的范畴表征。
A series of experiments examined the abilities of infants to form categorical representations for the spatial relations above and below. Experiment 1 provided evidence that 3- to 4-month-olds can form categorical representations for above and below when a diamond shape was presented above or below a horizontal bar. Experiments 2 and 3 showed that 3- and 4-month-olds did not form categorical representations for above and below when a number of discriminably different shapes (e.g., a diamond, a triangle, a dot) appeared above or below the bar. These more abstract categorical representations for above and below were formed by 6-to 7-month-olds (Experiment 4). The findings suggest an experientially or maturationally based trend, from concrete to abstract, in the categorical representation of common spatial relations.
