Language and culture endow humans with access to conceptual information that far exceeds any which could be accessed by a non-human animal. Yet, it is possible that, even without language or specific experiences, non-human animals represent and infer some aspects of similarity relations between objects in the same way as humans. Here, we show that…

Lillo, Julio; Moreira, Humberto; Vitini, Isaac; Martin, Jesus – Psicologica: International Journal of Methodology and Experimental Psychology, 2007
Five experiments were performed to identify the basic Spanish colour categories (BCCs) and to locate them in the CIE L*u*v* space. The existence of 11 BCCs was confirmed using an elicited list task and a free monolexemic naming task. From the results provided by a synonymicity estimation task, it was concluded that, in Spanish, 2 synonymous terms…

Object Recognition and Attention to Object Components by Preschool Children and 4-Month-Old Infants.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Haaf, Robert A. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2003
This study investigated attention to and recognition of components in compound stimuli among infants and preschoolers. Oddity tasks with preschoolers and familiarization/novelty-preference tasks with infants demonstrated successful discrimination among stimuli components on basis of edge property information. Matching tasks with preschoolers and…
