Pinker proposes that in order to morph words into different forms (i.e., past tense), we have:
 
  a) one system that is associative; we encode associations between the past and present tense, and use them to
   retrieve one another.
   b) one system that operates via rules; we use these rules (e.g., add an -s to make a plural) to morph words.
   c) two systems; we use the rule system for exceptions, and the associative system for non-exceptions.
   d) two systems; we use the rule system for non-exceptions, and the associative system for exceptions.
