Infants and children

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Perception

Background:

  • Early conceptual development relies on perceptual information.
  • Young children's conceptual development has been debated regarding perceptual limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a theoretical framework for perceptual information's role in early conceptual development.
  • To operationalize perceptual boundedness and its developmental trajectory.

Main Methods:

  • Introduced a general operationalization of perceptual boundedness.
  • Identified causes and conditions of perceptual boundedness in infants and children.
  • Described mechanisms for the decline of perceptual limitations.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Formulated conditions under which infants and children appear perceptually bound.
  • Described mechanisms driving the decline of perceptual boundedness.
  • Evaluated contemporary objections to claims of perceptual boundedness.

Conclusions:

  • Realist arguments regarding perceptual information are untenable.
  • Perceptual information offers limited but significant support for conceptual development.
