Abstract
This chapter argues that infants represent information from an early age at more than one level of description. The first level is the result of a perceptual system that parses and categorizes objects and object movement (events). In addition, human infants have the capacity to analyze objects and events into another form of representation that, while still somewhat “perception-like” in character, contains only redescribed fragments of the information originally processed. These redescriptions are spatial and analog in form, referred to as image-schemas. Image-schemas, such as self-motion, form the earliest meanings that the mind represents.
