Question 17

Mandler and McDonough (1993) familiarized a group of 9-month-olds either to different toy birds with outstretched wings or toy airplanes.

What can we infer from these findings? What does that tell us about infants' perceptual and conceptual categorization abilities? What are possible limitations of this study?
