Categories and Concepts
Wed, April 7, 11:35am to 1:05pm EDT (11:35am to 1:05pm EDT), VirtualSession Type: Flash Talk Session
Abstract
How infants and children come to organize their experiences into categories continues to be a central issue in the study of cognitive development. This session brings together researchers investigating the emergence of category representations for objects, space, and more abstract entities (i.e., social institutions). Prior experiences of participants, and roles for variability, overhypotheses, and essentialism, as well as the method of inquiry, including how children interpret questions posed to them and machine learning approaches, will be highlighted.
