• Cognitive Models of Test-Item Effects in Human Category Learning (2010, background): “More dramatically, Palmeri and Flanery showed that even with zero training data, people can perform one-class classification if there is a cluster in test data (Palmeri & Flanery, 1999).”
• Concepts and categories: Memory, meaning, and metaphysics (2012, background): “Specifically, Palmeri and Flanery (1999) suggested that some learning may have occurred during the transfer tests (not during training), and this learning did not depend on the storage of exemplars.”
