Abstract
Mental representation of objects deals with understanding the imagery information of concepts and provides clues for design and implementation of computational object recognition strategies. In this study, I postulate that studying of children’s drawings can provide useful information about mental representation of objects in preliminary stage of developmental learning. To this aim, I have designed an experiment in which I asked children of ages 3-4 to draw objects from known categories. Children were also allowed to have a brief view to a prototypical picture of objects for a short period of time. Based on my observation derived from children's drawings, I classified children’s strategies for object representation into three main categories: part-concept, familiar-concept and shape-concept. Results from this experiment suggest that there is a strong link between early object representation and theories of object recognition.
