Despite what we know about children’s ability to categorize, it is not clear to what extent information in the environment is capable of facilitating higher-order category knowledge, nor to what extent different kinds of object features play different kinds of roles. As a start we built a network of 130 early-learned nouns with 1394 perceptual and functional features as given by adult judgments. Then we analyzed the basic structural properties of the network. These revealed a small world structure and a high degree of feature overlap in local clusters. To identify the local clusters, we used a clique percolation algorithm …

This article reports the structure of associations among 101 common verbs and body parts. The verbs are those typically learned by children learning English prior to 3 years of age. In a free association task, 50 adults were asked to provide the single body part that came to mind when they thought of each verb. Analyses reveal highly systematic and structured patterns of associations that are also related to the normative age of acquisition of the verbs showing a progression from verbs associated with actions by the mouth, to verbs strongly associated with actions by hand and arm, to verbs …
