Are Lions and Tigers Substitutes or Associates? Evidence against Slot Filler Accounts of Children's Early Categorization.
Krackow, Elisa; Gordon, Peter
Child Development, v69 n2 p347-54 Apr 1998
Examined whether superior recall of items in event-based categorical relations, or "slot fillers," remained when association and typicality were controlled. Found that only children receiving the typical + high association slot-filler list showed significantly better recall than with the taxonomic-coordinate list, with no differences between the atypical + low association slot-filler list and taxonomic-coordinate list.
