Document Summary
A-not-b-task a search task across several trials in which the object location is changed. When the object is hidden at location a, infants find it successfully. When the object is moved to a new location, infants search at a. thus, infants can find the object at location a but not lcoaiton. Basic level- members of a category share instrumental and usually (although not always) perceptual properties within-category functional and perceptual similarities tend to be high, whereas between-categorical functional and perceptual similarities tend to be middle to low. Boundaries regions or instances where category inclusion is marginal. Conceptual organization organization based on knowing what objects are; relies on what they do or the roles they play in events. Categorization the grouping of separate items into a set according to some type of property or rule. Declarative memory memory for names, events, places, also called explicit memory. Decontextualization representational thinking (mental manipulation in the absence of concrete objects)
