在三个实验中，作者采用了一个物体检查任务，探讨知觉相似性在婴儿分类中的作用。在实验1中，婴儿熟悉一组感知相似或感知变量的样本从1类和测试与新的样本从两个类别。10个月奥尔兹在这两种情况下都没有对这一类别做出反应，13个月大的婴儿在这两种情况下都做出了明确的反应，但在这两种情况下有所不同。实验2表明，当10个月大的婴儿熟悉类似的样本，但不与变量的样本，他们作出反应的类别区分时，测试与典型的样本。实验3确定，10个月大的孩子可以区分样本。这些结果表明样例的知觉相似性影响婴儿对范畴区分的再认。
In 3 experiments, the authors used an object-examining task to investigate the role of perceptual similarity in infants' categorization. In Experiment 1, infants were familiarized with a set of either perceptually similar or perceptually variable exemplars from 1 category and tested with novel exemplars from both categories. Ten-month-olds did not respond to the category in either condition, and 13-month-olds responded categorically in both conditions but somewhat differently in the 2 conditions. Experiment 2 showed that when 10-month-olds were familiarized with similar exemplars but not with variable exemplars, they responded to the categorical distinction when given tests with typical exemplars. Experiment 3 established that 10-month-olds could differentiate among the exemplars. These results suggest that the perceptual similarity of the exemplars influences infants' recognition of categorical distinctions.
