Abstract: The classification of names of people or objects based on the features acquired by the names is a commonplace occurrence. For example, if prompted to classify the names of Renoir, Pollock, James and Voltaire the average adult might ask: "Should I classify them based on what they did or what country they were from?" Little is known, however, about the behavioral repertoires required to produce such classification behavior. The present experiment identified some of the behavioral repertoires that are necessary prerequisites to classification behavior. These data may provide a behavioral model of the establishment of complex classification repertoires. Future work in this area is needed to clarify and further extend the utility of the procedures described here.
