Introduction -- A connectionist model for early learning about animates and inanimates -- Simulations 1a, 1b, and 1c: the role of moving parts in forming representations of objects -- Simulations 2a and 2b: the role of moving parts in forming representations of objects presented in a category context -- Learning initial mappings between labels and object features: simulations and experiments with infants -- Simulation 4: a model of Rakison, 2005A: animacy relations in causal events -- Simulation 5: a model of Rakison, 2006: animacy relations in noncausal events -- General discussion.
Lisa M. Oakes -- Encountering concepts in context Arlene S. Walker-Andrews.
Abstract: "[Rakison and Lupyan] present a domain-general framework called constrained attentional associative learning to provide a developmental account for how and when infants form concepts for animates and inanimates that encapsulate not only their surface appearance but also their movement characteristics. ..."--P. vii.
