C. L. Gagné and E. Shoben (1997) proposed that the conceptual system contains information about how concepts are used to modify other concepts and that this relational information influences the ease with which concepts combine. Recently, E. J. Wisniewski and G. L. Murphy suggested that C. L. Gagné and E. Shoben's measure of relation availability was confounded with familiarity and plausibility and that the participants could simply retrieve the stored meanings of the phrases because the phrases were not novel. In this article, the authors demonstrate that E. J. Wisniewski and G. L. Murphy's plausibility and familiarity judgments are dependent variables that (a) are themselves responsive to changes in relation availability, (b) modifier relation availability predicts response time even when the influence of phrase familiarity and plausibility is controlled, and (c) the materials consisted of mainly novel phrases.
C. L. 加涅和E. 肖本（1997年）提出，概念系统包含有关概念如何用于修饰其他概念的信息，并且这种关系信息会影响概念组合的难易程度。最近，E. J. 维斯涅夫斯基和G. L. 墨菲认为，C. L. 加涅和E. 肖本的关系可用性度量与熟悉度和合理性混淆在一起，并且参与者可以简单地检索短语的存储含义，因为这些短语并非新颖。在本文中，作者证明E. J. 维斯涅夫斯基和G. L. 墨菲的合理性和熟悉度判断是因变量，（a）它们本身对关系可用性的变化有反应，（b）即使在控制了短语熟悉度和合理性的影响后，修饰语关系可用性仍能预测反应时间，（c）材料主要由新颖的短语组成。
