“…Others, in turn, have highlighted the importance of conducting longitudinal studies in ecological contexts (Gruber et al 2015;Murphy 2002), and stated that it is crucial to study the influence that adults and semiotic mediation processes have on conceptual development (Pauen et al 2015). Our approach is a contribution to the landscape of perspectives criticising perceptual reductionism and advocating for cultural and functional points of view to explain conceptual development and other cognitive processes (Barsalou et al 2005;Chaigneau & Barsalou 2008;Chen et al 2016;Costall & Dreier 2006;Krnel & Skubic 2015;Malafouris 2013Malafouris , 2014Säljö 2018;Smith 2005).…”

Within cognitive and developmental psychology, it is commonly argued that perception is the basis for object concepts. According to this view, sensory experiences would translate into concepts thanks to the recognition, correlation and integration of physical attributes. Once attributes are integrated into general patterns, subjects would become able to parse objects into categories. In this article, we critically review the three epistemological perspectives according to which it can be claimed that object concepts depend on perception: state non-conceptualism, content non-conceptualism, and content conceptualism. We show that the three perspectives have problems that make perception inadequate as a conceptual basis. We suggest that the inquiry about the origin and development of object concepts can benefit from a pragmatic perspective that considers objects’ cultural functions as a conceptual foundation. We address this possibility from the theoretical framework of the pragmatics of the object, considering the importance of objects’ functional permanence.
