Rescorla
Studies children's overextensions and found it useful to divide them into 3 main types. Rescorla found that the majority of children's overextensions were categorical and relatively few were purely analogical.

Jean Aitcherson
Identified three stages that occur during a child's acquisition of vocabulary: labelling, packaging, and network building.
3 of 9
Catagorical
A word for one member of a clear category is extended to other members of that category. E.g. a child uses 'apple' to label other types of fruit.
4 of 9
Analogical
A word for one object is extended to another object which is not in the same clear category but which still bears some similarity, either physical or functional, to the original object.
5 of 9
Statement
These are more like one-word sentences. Children are not labelling an object but making a statement about it in relation to another object.
6 of 9
Labelling
The first stage that occurs in a child's acquisition of vocabulary. Making the link between the sounds of particular words and the objects to which they refer.
7 of 9
Packaging
The second stage that occurs in a child's acquisition of vocabulary. Entails understanding a word's range of meaning.
8 of 9
Network Building
The third stage that occurs in a child's language acquisition. Involves grasping the connections between words.
