两个实验探讨了婴儿如何在习惯了少数（即2）或许多（即6）关系的例子时学会形成支持的抽象分类表征（即1）。当习惯了2对支持关系中的物体时，14月龄形成了抽象空间范畴（即对新物体的关系进行了一般化），而10月龄则没有。当习惯了支持关系中的6个对象对时，婴儿不注意该关系。结果表明，婴儿在10 ~ 14个月之间学会形成抽象的空间范畴支持，而较少的描述这种关系的物体对有助于他们获得抽象的范畴表征。
Two experiments explored how infants learn to form an abstract categorical representation of support (i.e., on) when habituated to few (i.e., 2) or many (i.e., 6) examples of the relation. When habituated to 2 pairs of objects in a support relation, 14-month-olds, but not 10-month-olds, formed the abstract spatial category (i.e., generalized the relation to novel objects). When habituated to 6 object pairs in a support relation, infants did not attend to the relation. The results indicate that infants learn to form an abstract spatial category of support between 10 and 14 months and that having fewer object pairs depicting this relation facilitates their acquisition of the abstract categorical representation.
