抄録

The Semantic Feature Hypothesis (SFH) concerning acquisition of spatial terms was examined in children ranging in age from 2:0 to 3:6. The variables controlled were age (older, younger), stimulus object (concrete, abstract), polarity (positive, negative) and number of semantic features (1, 2, 3). The overall results showed the main effects due to age, polarity, and number of features, and the interactions between stimulus objects and polarity, thus lending support to the SFH to a certain extent. However, the detailed analysis of errors revealed results not consistent with the Hypothesis. The results were interpreted as suggesting that, at least in the initial phase of acquisition, a variety of experiential factors might contribute to the order in which spatial terms are acquired.
