    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Relational categories are notoriously difficult to learn. We\nstudied the impact of comparison on relational concept\nlearning with a novel word learning task in 3- and 4-year olds.\nWe contrasted a no-comparison (single) condition and two\ncomparison conditions. In the latter case, the set of learning\npairs was composed of either close or far pairs (e.g., close\npair: knife1- watermelon, knife2-orange; far pair: ax-\nevergreen tree, saw-log, for the “cutter for” relation). We also\nmanipulated the transfer stimuli semantic distance (near or\ndistant semantic domain, e.g., a scissor for a piece of paper in\nthe close case, and a shaver for a face in the far domain case).\nThe no-comparison condition led to random generalizations in\nthe younger group only. Overall the close learning condition\nand the near transfer condition led to good performance. We\ndiscuss these results in terms of the role of semantic distance\nand how participants integrate stimuli depending on distance.",
