- Referential communication and category acquisition. (1998, result): “This simultaneous attention to commonalities and differences of similar items is consistent with studies of similarity in existing categories (Gentner & Markman, 1994, 1997; A. B. Markman & Gentuer, 1993; A. B. Markman & Wisniewski, 1997).”

- Hidden Badge of Honor: How Contextual Distinctiveness Affects Category Promotion among Certified B Corporations (2017, unknown): “Whereas basic categories are cognitively “in the middle” of a general-to-specific hierarchy (e.g., dog is the basic category in the animal-dog-retriever hierarchy), subordinate categories attempt to further delineate the referenced object from the basic category (Markman & Wisniewski, 1997).”
- The Differential Improvement Effects of the Strategy Map and Scorecard Perspectives on Managers' Strategic Judgments (2012, methodology): “These objectives and performance measures are adapted from Richmond et al.’s (1999) interactive management simulation (which is based on Kaplan and Norton [1996]), with the two independent variables manipulated as outlined previously.”
- You focus on the forest when you're in charge of the trees: power priming and abstract information processing. (2006, background): “…were also coded by two independent blind judges for level of categorization (see Table 2) on the basis of Rosch’s criteria (Rosch et al., 1976) and available listings of superordinate, basic, and subordinate levels of categorization (e.g., Lin, Murphy, & Shoben, 1997; Markman & Wisniewski, 1997).”
