Cogn Psychol 53:345-60. 2006..These results suggest that on the basis of extensive experience with an object category, infants come to identify novel members of that category and expect them to possess the attributes typical of that category... - Cognitive imitation in 2-year-old children (Homo sapiens): a comparison with rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta)Francys Subiaul
Department of Speech and Hearing Science, The George Washington University, 1922 F Street, NW 406E, Washington, DC 20001, USA
