基本层次范畴是儿童和成人归纳推理的丰富来源。这三个实验考察了学龄前儿童如何将他们归纳丰富的基本水平范畴划分成从属水平范畴,以及这些范畴是否具有归纳潜力。孩子们学到了一种关于一个熟悉的基本级别类别(如牧羊犬)的个体成员的新奇属性。然后,研究了儿童将该属性扩展到来自相同从属(例如,其他牧羊犬)、基本(例如,其他狗)和高级(例如,其他动物)类别的其他对象。研究结果表明:(A)对比信息促进了作为归纳推理基础的从属范畴的出现;(B)新建立的从属范畴可以在一周后的后续推理中保留其归纳潜力。(《心理信息数据库记录(C)2016 APA》,版权所有)
Basic level categories are a rich source of inductive inference for children and adults. These 3 experiments examine how preschool-age children partition their inductively rich basic level categories to form subordinate level categories and whether these have inductive potential. Children were taught a novel property about an individual member of a familiar basic level category (eg, a collie). Then, children's extensions of that property to other objects from the same subordinate (eg, other collies), basic (eg, other dogs), and superordinate (eg, other animals) level categories were examined. The results suggest (a) that contrastive information promotes the emergence of subordinate categories as a basis of inductive inference and (b) that newly established subordinate categories can retain their inductive potential in subsequent reasoning over a week's time.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
