对成人概念的研究表明，类别结构因领域而异;成人将动物类别的成员资格视为绝对的，但将人工制品类别的成员资格视为分级的。本研究探讨了幼儿（5岁）类别边界信念的领域差异。结果表明，年幼的孩子，像成年人一样，不太可能赞同分级类别成员的动物比文物类别。这些领域的差异不能归因于典型性的领域差异。概念发展的影响，并在成人认知领域的特异性模型，进行了讨论。
Research on adult concepts indicates that category structure varies by domain; adults view membership in animal categories as absolute, but membership in artifact categories as graded. This study examined domain differences in beliefs about category boundaries among young children (5-year-olds). Results indicated that young children, like adults, were less likely to endorse graded category membership for animal than for artifact categories. These domain differences could not be attributed to domain differences in typicality. Implications for conceptual development, and for models of domain specificity in adult cognition, are discussed.
