Abstract
To account for category-specific semantic deficits, Humphreys and Forde pro pose to fractionate semantic memory into multiple sensory and functional kn owledge stores. There axe reasons to doubt the empirical productivity of th is proposal, unless theoretically motivated principles of distinguishing an d weighting the different kinds of object knowledge can be spelled out in d etail.
