本研究考察了形状相似性和标签对13个月幼儿归纳推理的影响。在3个实验中，123名婴儿被展示了具有或不具有不可见属性的新目标对象，然后是形状相似性不同的测试对象。当对象没有标记，婴儿概括了不可见的属性，以高相似性的对象（实验1）。当物体被标记为相同的名词，婴儿概括的不可见的属性，以高和低相似性的对象（实验2）。最后，当对象被标记为不同的名词，婴儿概括的不可见的属性，以高相似性的对象（实验3）。因此，开始习得产出性语言的婴儿依赖于共同的形状相似性和共同的名字来指导他们的归纳推理。
This study examined the influence of shape similarity and labels on 13-month-olds' inductive inferences. In 3 experiments, 123 infants were presented with novel target objects with or without a nonvisible property, followed by test objects that varied in shape similarity. When objects were not labeled, infants generalized the nonvisible property to high-similarity objects (Experiment 1). When objects were labeled with the same noun, infants generalized the nonvisible property to high- and low-similarity objects (Experiment 2). Finally, when objects were labeled with different nouns, infants generalized the nonvisible property to high-similarity objects (Experiment 3). Thus, infants who are beginning to acquire productive language rely on shared shape similarity and shared names to guide their inductive inferences.
