    "title": "Comparison and Function in Children’s Object Categorization",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Although young children often rely on salient perceptual cues,\nsuch as shape, when categorizing novel objects, children shift\ntowards deeper relational reasoning when they compare\ncategory members or attend to functional properties. In this\nstudy, we investigated the independent and combined effects\nof comparison and function in children’s categorization of\nnovel objects. Across two experiments, we found that\ncomparing two perceptually similar category members led\nchildren to discover non-obvious relational features that\nsupported their categorization of novel objects. Together, these\nfindings underscore the difficulty in categorizing novel objects\nbut demonstrate that comparison may aid in this process by\nrendering less obvious relational structures more salient, thus\ninducing a shift towards a categorical rather than perceptual\nresponse.",
