Thirty‐two 10‐month‐olds were habituated to stimuli containing an African–American female face or a white female face paired with a specific object. Test stimuli maintained or violated habituation stimuli pairings (i.e. categories). Results add to an emerging literature showing that 10‐month‐olds perceive categories of social information based on detection of correlated attributes. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
