评估类别包括具有相同价值评估的项目。鉴于这些类别尚未在儿童概念文献中得到广泛研究，本研究探索了食品领域内的评估分类和归纳作为测试案例。具体而言，两项研究调查了 4 岁和 7 岁儿童的健康食品和垃圾食品类别。研究 1 表明，到 4 岁时，儿童会适当地将健康食品和垃圾食品的评价类别应用于各种不同的食物。研究2表明，到4岁时，儿童也会选择性地使用健康和垃圾食品的评价类别来对人体进行归纳推断，但不会进行任意或不相关的推断。总而言之，这些结果凸显了评估处理在幼儿分类和归纳中的重要性。版权所有 (C) 2008 约翰·威利父子有限公司
Evaluative categories include items that share the same value-laden assessment. Given that these categories have not been examined extensively within the child concepts literature, the present research explored evaluative categorization and induction within the domain of food as a test case. Specifically, two studies examined the categories of healthy and junky foods in children aged 4 and 7 years. Study 1 showed that by aged 4 years, children appropriately apply the evaluative categories of healthy and junky foods to a variety of different foods. Study 2 showed that by age 4 years, children also selectively use the evaluative categories of healthy and junky foods for inductive inferences about the human body, but not for arbitrary or unrelated inferences. Taken together, these results highlight the importance of evaluative processing in young children's categorization and induction. Copyright (C) 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
