Abstract | Three experiments examined how 4- to 10-year-olds' domain knowledge and observation of exemplars interact during concept acquisition and how exposure to novel exemplars causes knowledge revision. In all experiments, prior knowledge and exemplar observation independently influenced children's categorization judgments. Use of prior knowledge was consistent across age and domains, but 10-year-olds were more sensitive to observed feature covariation. (Author/KB) |
