物体的名称和功能可以作为婴儿分类的线索吗？在研究1中，14个月和18个月大的婴儿被展示了新的类别范例，沿着有一个功能，一个名字，或没有线索。然后，婴儿被要求“找到另一个”，在两个新物体中选择（一个来自熟悉的类别，另一个不是）。在两个年龄段的婴儿更有可能选择类别匹配的功能比在无线索的条件。然而，只有在18个月时，命名的对象增强分类。研究2表明，名称可以促进分类的14个月大的婴儿，以及当一个提示的核心意义的对象（功能的一个单一的熟悉对象）提供。
Can object names and functions act as cues to categories for infants? In Stud 1, 14- and 18-month-old infants were shown novel category exemplars along with a function, a name, or no cues. Infants were then asked to "find another one," choosing between 2 novel objects (1 from the familiar category and the other not). Infants at both ages were more likely to select the category match in the function than in the no-cue condition. However, only at 18 months did naming the objects enhance categorization. Study 2 shows that names can facilitate categorization for 14-month-olds as well when a hint regarding the core meaning of the objects (the function of a single familiarization object) is provided.
