    "title": "Analogical Abstraction in Three-Month-Olds",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "This research tests whether analogical processing ability is\npresent in 3-month-old infants. Infants are habituated to a series\nof analogous pairs, instantiating either same (e.g., AA, BB,\netc.) or different (e.g., AB, CD, etc.), and then tested with\nfurther exemplars of the relations. If they can distinguish the\nfamiliar relation from the novel relation, even with new\nobjects, this is evidence that for analogical abstraction across\nthe study pairs. In Experiment 1, we did not find evidence of\nanalogical abstraction when 3-month-olds were habituated to\nsix pairs instantiating the relation. However, in Experiment 2,\ninfants showed evidence of analogical abstraction after\nhabituation to two alternating pairs (e.g., AA, BB, AA, BB...).\nFurther, as with older groups, rendering individual objects\nsalient disrupted relational learning. These results demonstrate\nthat 3-month-old infants are capable of analogical comparison\nand abstraction. Our findings also place limits on the conditions\nunder which these processes are likely to occur. We discuss\nimplications for theories of relational learning.",
