进行了两个实验以确定同源物的功能状态。考虑了两个假设。根据第一个假设，语言是控制词汇组织的关键特征，因此同源词可能等同于形态上不相关的翻译。然而，根据第二个假设，语言并不是控制词汇组织的关键特征。相反，感知类别之间的界限是由形态学考虑决定的，因此同源词可能等同于语言内的变化，例如词形变化和派生。如果第一个假设正确，同源表现应遵循翻译观察到的结果，但如果第二个假设正确，同源表现应遵循词形变化和派生观察到的结果。这些实验使用了不同的程序来削弱特定于任务的解释。第一个实验涉及词汇决策任务中的重复启动，重点是相对启动；也就是说，当 OBEDIENCIA 启动 OBEDIENCE 时发生的促进量，表示为每次出现相同单词时发生的促进量的分数（即，当 OBEDIENCE 用于启动 OBEDIENCE 时）。第二个实验测试了语言记忆。测试了四种类型的同源词。这些是：正字法相同的同源词、带有 cion/tion 替换的规则同源词、带有 dad/ty 替换的规则同源词以及不规则派生的同源词。结果是明确的。先前观察到的同源词的启动值在定性和定量上与观察到的词形变化和派生启动值相似，并且这种分类在涉及语言记忆的第二个实验中得到了证实。结果与形态学而不是语言决定知觉类别之间的界限的一般命题是一致的，并且回顾了一些具体的解释。
Two experiments were conducted to determine the functional status of cognates. Two hypotheses were considered. According to the first hypothesis, language is a critical feature governing lexical organization, and cognates may therefore be equated with morphologically unrelated translations. According to a second hypothesis, however, language is not a critical feature governing lexical organization. Instead, the boundaries between perceptual categories are determined by morphological considerations, and cognates may therefore be equated with intra-lingual variations such as inflections and derivations. If the first hypothesis is correct, cognate performance should follow that observed for translations, but if the second hypothesis is correct, cognate performance should follow that observed for inflections and derivations. The experiments used different procedures in order to discount task-specific explanations. The first experiment involved repetition priming in a lexical decision task, and emphasis was placed on relative priming; that is, on the amount of facilitation which occurs when, for example, OBEDIENCIA primes OBEDIENCE, expressed as a fraction of the amount of facilitation that occurs when the same word is presented on each occasion (i.e., when OBEDIENCE is used to prime OBEDIENCE). The second experiment tested memory for language. Four types of cognates were tested. These were: orthographically identical cognates, regular cognates with cion/tion substitution, regular cognates with dad/ty substitution, and irregularly derived cognates. The results were unequivocal. The priming values observed previously for cognates were qualitatively and quantitatively similar to those observed for inflections and derivations, and this classification was confirmed in the second experiment, involving memory for language. The results are consistent with the general proposition that morphology rather than language governs the boundaries between perceptual categories, and a number of specific explanatins are reviewed.
