Hampton, James A. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1979

Neither prediction was supported by the experiment results, leading to the formulation of an alternative feature-based model of category definitions using the notion of a polymorphous concept.

Rubin, David C. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1975

Results corresponded to an earlier study, with morpheme-like clusters evident. Results indicate an organizing memory system for words used in speech. (CHK)
