Abstract

The research literature on the abilities of infants to categorize information from the domains of vision and speech is reviewed. The evidence suggests that infants are able to categorize their experiences, and that their categorical representations follow the same fundamental principles that govern the categorical representations of adults. Consideration is given to some of the difficulties that are encountered when the attempt is made to extrapolate from the categories and underlying concepts that are available to infants to those that exist in adults.
