==Human development perception of group attribution==

Infants develop the ability to categorize first by putting a gender label to other children. Then, the difference in color of the skin begins to play a role in their ability to distinguish different backgrounds. Consequently, group attribution biases towards members of different groups, either on race or gender, affect their ability to judge others.<ref>Killen, M., & Rutland, A. (2011). ''Children and social exclusion: Morality, prejudice, and group identity''. Chichester, West Sussex, UK: Wiley-Blackwell.</ref> For example, the conception of children believing that "all girlsboys are quietabusive" illustrates the influence of categorization and generalization to members of this group (girlsboys).
