    "title": "All Creatures Great and Small: Category-Relevant Statistical Regularities in Children’s Books",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Sensitivity to statistical co-occurrence regularities is present\nfrom infancy. This sensitivity may contribute to learning in\nmany domains, including category learning. However, prior\nresearch has not examined whether everyday input conveys\ncategory-relevant statistical regularities. This study assessed\nwhether statistical regularities relevant to real-world categories\nare present in a commonly experienced source input –\nchildren’s picture books. We focused on animal categories\nbecause this is a domain in which children receive much\nexposure from an early age, while simultaneously holding\npersistent misconceptions about category membership beyond\npreschool years. Analysis of 80 books revealed that they: 1)\nWere likely to contain regularities from which individual\nspecies categories (e.g., “chicken”) might be learned, but 2)\nWere unlikely to contain regularities from which broader\ntaxonomic categories (e.g., “bird”) might be learned. These\nfindings point to a paucity of taxonomically-relevant statistical\nregularities that may contribute to persistent taxonomic\nmisconceptions.",
