Three theoretical views, concerned with semantic generalisation, are briefly outlined and reference is made to some relevant experiments. A new technique—adapted from that of W. D. Mink—is described, and two experiments are conducted. The first replicates one of Mink's experiments, showing that the method used here is a satisfactory one; the second duplicates Razran's (1939) experiment. In both cases semantic generalisation is achieved, and this experimental technique, it is concluded, could profitably be used to examine in detail the unconvincing theoretical framework described earlier.
