    "abstract": "In production, frequently used words are preferentially\nextended to new, though related meanings. In comprehension,\nfrequent exposure to a word instead makes the learner\nconfident that all of the word’s legitimate uses have been\nexperienced, resulting in an entrenched form-meaning\nmapping between the word and its experienced meaning(s).\nThis results in a perception-production dissociation, where the\nforms speakers are most likely to map onto a novel meaning\nare precisely the forms that they believe can never be used\nthat way. At first glance, this result challenges the idea of\nbidirectional form-meaning mappings, assumed by all current\napproaches to linguistic theory. In this paper, we show that\nbidirectional form-meaning mappings are not in fact\nchallenged by this production-perception dissociation. We\nshow that the production-perception dissociation is expected\neven if learners of the lexicon acquire simple symmetrical\nform-meaning associations through simple Hebbian learning.",
