Abstract
Continued associations were collected to each member of a set of homographie stimuli. The associations were scored with respect to their meaning referent (primary or secondary). In accordance with the S-R hierarchical model of word associations, there was a moderately high covariation between percentage scores based on cultural norms and percentage scores based on individual associative protocols. However, the pattern of associations suggested a modification of this model in terms of the separate retrieval of each meaning of a given homograph.
