This study tested a hypothesis proposed by Hettenlocher and Lui (1979, journal of verbal learning and verbal behavior, 18, 141-162) that there are systematic differences between nouns and verbs regarding interconcept semantic organization. Specifically, sets of nouns tend to be interrelated according to a hierarchical organization, whereas sets of verbs (depicting actions and events) tend to be interrelated according to a matrix organization, In two experiments. college students performed three tasks on sets of 16 nouns versus 16 verbs, A binary s0rt task provided "hierarchical organization (HO) scores" for a given word set, whereas a similarity rating task (for pairs of words) furnished "matrix organization (MO) scores." We assessed the extent to which the HO and MO scores could predict clustering of words in an unconstrained sort task (in which each of the 16 words was assigned to one of IV categories). The analyses confirmed the hypothesis, We discuss the implications of these findings with respect to the representation and semantic organization of nouns versus verbs.
