Such results have been used to argue for a dual mechanism account of English inflectional morphology. A single mechanism connectionist model is described which learns an abstract version of the task of recognising English inflected verbs. Analysis of the networks internal representations show differences between regular and irregular verbs that could account for the priming data. This suggests that behavioural and representational differences need not be taken as evidence for two distinct processing mechanisms. The English past tense has been a popular case-study for investigating language processing since it provides clear examples of both regular and irregular linguistic processes. Psycholinguistic accounts of English inflection have focused on the process or processes that map between stem and past tense forms.
