Continuity in the Conceptual System
Acquisition, Breakdown, and Reorganization
This chapter summarizes the large body of data on the initial organization of the conceptual system. The initial, and perhaps most important, conclusion that can be drawn from the data is that because the first concepts about objects are global in nature, the acquisition process tends to emphasize differentiation. The breakdown of the conceptual system in semantic dementia is discussed.
Keywords: conceptual system, semantic dementia, acquisition, conceptual growth, conceptual reorganization
