According to the question, children find it easier to organize objects on intermediate levels rather than general levels. "Dog" is an intermediate level term and is more specific than "animal" or "mammal" and less specific than "Collie." Therefore, "dog" is most likely to appear earliest in a young child's vocabulary.
