    "title": "Replacing Language:\nChildren Use Non-Linguistic Cues and Comparison in Category Formation",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Language is a powerful instrument for extracting relational\ninformation from stimuli. In a label extension task common labels\ninvite comparison processes that help children focus on the more\nsubtle relational similarity and away from the readily available\nperceptual similarity of the stimuli. The current experiment aims to\nexplore whether non-linguistic representations of category\nmembership are sufficient to invite such abstractions of relational\ninformation. Preschool children were asked to extend a category to\neither a relational or an object match. When given the opportunity\nto compare two instances of the category, and provided with a non-\nlinguistic cue children extended the category to the relational\nmatch. These results further extend the benefit of comparison in\nlearning, and suggest that language labels are not the only cue\nchildren can use in category formation.",
