问题与背景 A longstanding question in cognitive development is how early rich visual categories emerge in the human brain and whether they depend mainly on postnatal learning or appear surprisingly early.
方法/新意 The paper combines awake infant fMRI with computational analyses of visual categorization, showing categorical organization in high-level ventrotemporal cortex as early as 2 months and tracking developmental change over time.
意义/放在仓库中的位置 This is a valuable developmental cognition paper and fits the repository's broadened cognitive-science mainline. It is particularly useful because infant fMRI at this scale is rare, and the findings bear directly on early category formation.
局限/为何不更高 The contribution is strongest within developmental visual neuroscience, rather than as a broad new computational or AI-relevant paradigm, so breakthrough is the right level.
