| Abstract(in English) | It is known that infants are aware of the category of objects in their daily life before explicit vocabulary acquisition starts. Even though the various attributes such as color, texture, and size are not the same for individual objects, infants are able to perceive them as belonging to a single category. The infants are able to assign the same label to members within the same category by focusing attention on specific features or functions common to the members. In this study, we conducted a series of experiments using stimuli characterized by various attributes in order to understand the categorization process in an infant's pre-linguistic development. We found that the infant is able to employ several strategies in a flexible manner in its development. We discuss the interplay between different cognitive strategies, including the prototype effects in the infant's cognitive development and the implications for cortical mechanism involved. |
