Developing object concepts in infancy: an associative learning perspective

CONTENTS, Abstract

Introduction

A connectionist model for early learning about animates and inanimates

Simulations 1a, 1b, and 1c: the role of moving parts in forming representations of objects

Simulations 2a and 2b: the role of moving parts in forming representations of objects presented in a category context

Learning initial mappings between labels and object features: simulations and experiments with infants

Simulation 4: a model of Rakison, 2005A: animacy relations in causal events

Simulation 5: a model of Rakison, 2006: animacy relations in noncausal events

General discussion.
