dc.description.abstractThis study examined whether infants privilege shape over other perceptual properties when making inferences about the shared properties of novel objects. Forty-six 15-month-olds were presented with novel target objects that possessed a non-obvious property, followed by test objects that varied in shape, color, or texture relative to the target. Infants generalized the non-obvious property to test objects that were highly similar in shape, but not to objects that shared the same color or texture. These results demonstrate that infants’ attention to shape is not specific to lexical contexts and is present at the early stages of productive language development. The implications of these findings for debates about children’s shape bias, in particular, and the nature of infants’ categories more generally, are discussed.en_US
