This is a commentary on Jean Mandler's The foundations of mind: Origins of conceptual thought (see Mandler, 2004 ). Research in infant cognition has been fraught with controversial claims and competing theories for 30 years, in part in response to new data emanating from laboratories employing new technologies and in part contesting Piaget's foundational theories. It has been badly in need of a new theoretical approach that could reconcile contradictory findings. In The foundations of mind: Origins of thought , Jean Mandler has proposed such a theory, which has the potential for transforming our understanding of conceptual development, word learning and cognitive development in general. The book is, however, not just a theoretical proposal, but is solidly based on a broad swath of experimental findings from her laboratory and others, as well as on up‐to‐date cognitive and neurocognitive results from both infant and adult research. The core of Mandler's original research is in her studies of infant categorization. These have significance beyond the controversies rampant in the field of infant development that support a set of related theoretical claims. Among the significant implications of this research are the following: 1 Conceptual and perceptual categories are based in different
