Tracing preschoolers’ ability to form and use categories

This paper reports on a small-scale exploratory case study that aims at highlighting preschoolers’ ability to categorize, grasp criteria for categorizing and use categories for attributing properties to target entities. Conducting individual, semi-structured interviews with 10 preschoolers (age 4-5)...
