The Differential Formation of Response Sets by Specific Determiners
Jones, Phillip D.; Kaufman, Gary G.
Educational and Psychological Measurement, 35, 4, 821-33, Win 75

Results indicated that as the frequency of specific determiners increased, they formed increasingly strong but differential guessing response sets in high and low scoring groups; however, the magnitude of the effect was much stronger for position specific determiners.
