研究了刺激材料中存在的协变（特征之间）的处理。受试者无法阐明的口头描述的心理特征和外观的一组刺激人之间的操纵协变。基于两阶段问题回答模型（Glucksberg & McCloskey，1981），假设如果与操纵的协变相关的信息被处理和记录，则会导致可能被认为与协变相关的问题的处理时间增加。在3个实验中获得的响应曲线与预测完全一致。在其中两个实验中，发现了刺激材料对被试随后判断的影响，与模型一致。受试者表现得好像他们已经“学会”了这条规则（由协变所暗示），并在随后的判断中遵循它。所展示的现象属于范畴信息处理的一个重要且可能普遍存在的方面。
Processing of covariation (among features) present in stimulus material was investigated. Subjects were unable to articulate the manipulated covariation between verbally described psychological characteristics and appearance of a set of stimulus persons. Based on the two-stage question answering model (Glucksberg & McCloskey, 1981), it was hypothesized that if the information related to the manipulated covariation was processed and registered, it would result in an increase of processing time for the questions that might be considered relevant to the covariation. The pattern of response latencies obtained in each of 3 experiments conformed exactly to the predictions. In 2 of these experiments, effects of the stimulus material on subjects' subsequent judgments were found, consistent with the model. Subjects behaved as if they had “learned” the rule (implied by the covariation) and followed it in their subsequent judgments. The demonstrated phenomenon pertains to an important and presumably ubiquitous aspect of processing categorical information.
