Polymorphous Concepts in Semantic Memory.
Hampton, James A.
Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, v18 n4 p441-61 Aug 1979
Two experiments tested a set of predictions regarding category definitions and categorization latencies. 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.
