两个实验研究了婴儿的包容，支持或紧配合的空间关系的分类。10个月（实验1）和18个月（实验2）的英语学习婴儿习惯于四对对象在这些关系之一。然后，他们用一个来自习惯化的事件进行测试，一个在熟悉的关系中使用新的物体，一个在新的关系中使用熟悉的物体，一个在新的关系中使用新的物体。两个年龄段的婴儿都将他们对包容关系的习惯化推广到这种关系中的新对象。在支持和紧配合条件下，年龄较小的婴儿只对测试中的新物体做出反应，而年龄较大的婴儿对新关系做出反应，但只对熟悉的物体做出反应。结果表明，婴儿学会分类遏制之前的支持或紧密配合的关系，并建议婴儿可以认识到熟悉的对象之间的关系之前，新的对象。
Two experiments examined infant categorization of containment, support or tight-fit spatial relationships. English-learning infants of 10 months (Experiment 1) and 18 months (Experiment 2) were habituated to four pairs of objects in one of these relationships. They were then tested with one event from habituation, one with novel objects in the familiar relationship, one with familiar objects in a novel relationship and one with novel objects in a novel relationship. Infants at both ages generalized their habituation of the containment relationship to novel objects in this relationship. In the support and tight-fit conditions, the younger infants responded only to the novel objects in the test while the older infants responded to the novel relationship, but only with familiar objects. The results indicate that infants learn to categorize containment prior to support or tight-fit relationships and suggest that infants can recognize a relationship between familiar objects prior to novel objects.
