358:". This term refers to the hypothesized mental process where a new concept (e.g. a color name) is learned based only on a single exposure. They also discussed "extended mapping", the process by which children gradually brought the new concept into alignment with their previous understanding of a conceptual space. Carey argues that extended mapping requires both the creation of new primitives for words and hypothesis testing about word meanings. Fast mapping has become a central idea in developmental theories about the learning of words leading to "considerable methodological and theoretical advances". Studies of extended mapping are difficult and less often attempted. 414:
adults between age 65 and 81 displayed similar patterns of miscategorization on certain tasks. When asked to sort things according to whether or not they were alive, members of all three groups tended to categorize things that moved - including airplanes, watches, and bicycles - as "alive". Carey is examining the question of how executive functioning impacts adults' ability to express the knowledge they have previously learned.
389:, "an elegant, well-written, and ambitious synthesis" with the goal of providing a comprehensive explanation of conceptual structure, concept acquisition and change, and cognitive development. In it Carey coined the term "Quinian bootstrapping" for a theory of how people build complex concepts out of simple ones. The book won the Cognitive Development Society Book Award in 2009 and the Eleanor Maccoby Book Award of the 374:
argued that such anthropomorphic thinking is not universal, emphasizing the effects of culture and experience.) Carey also compared the ways that knowledge is restructured by children and by adults. She argued that similar psychological processes are involved in conceptual development in children and in the development of theories by scientists as shown through the history of science.

with later work on children's knowledge of biological concepts. Carey suggested that children's early understanding of biological concepts like "animal" indicates anthropomorphic thinking or folk theorization in which humans are expected to be prototypical of non-humans.

both moved to Harvard, where they started the Laboratory for Developmental Studies. Working with infants, toddlers, adults, and non-human primates, they developed a core knowledge proposal. According to the idea of core cognition, human infants begin life with a set of fundamental processing
205:. Carey received the 2020 Atkinson Prize in Psychological and Cognitive Sciences for her theory of conceptual change, for which she is credited with having "revolutionized our understanding of how humans construct an understanding of objects, number, living kinds, and the physical world." 307:
In 1994, Carey was one of 16 women faculty in the School of Science at MIT who drafted and co-signed a letter to the then-Dean of Science (now Chancellor of Berkeley) Robert Birgeneau, which started a campaign to highlight and challenge gender discrimination at MIT.
