Abstract

Our discussion with Rips, Blok, and Newman (2006; Blok, Newman, & Rips, in press; Rhemtulla & Xu, in press) has brought together theory and evidence from researchers in adult cognition and those in infant development. By this point, researchers all recognize that any theory of concepts of individuals must consider the evidence from infants' first concepts as well as explicit adult reasoning tasks. Despite this agreement, we continue to disagree on several fundamental issues.

摘要

我们与 Rips、Blok 和 Newman（2006；Blok、Newman 和 Rips，即将出版；Rhemtulla 和 Xu，即将出版）的讨论汇集了来自成人认知研究人员和婴儿发展研究人员的理论和证据。至此，研究人员都认识到，任何关于个体概念的理论都必须考虑婴儿最初概念的证据以及明确的成人推理任务的证据。尽管存在这种共识，但我们在几个基本问题上仍存在分歧。
