Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that preschoolers are better at sorting objects into basic level categories (e.g. animals, vehicles) than they are at using other category levels such as superordinate (e.g. living things) or subordinate (e.g. dogs, cats) categories. This is because basic level categories are the most cognitively salient and have the most distinctive features.
