You may wqant to contact Keith Horton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), of the Psych
department here at Wilfrid Laurier University. He has collected voluinous
data on category choices, and a look-up yesterday confirmed that indeed
"carrot"  was the most frequently reported exemplar in the "vegetable"
category. 

BTW, I've used this demonstration with the mathematical operations
predominantly resulting in answers of 7 or 11, with good results.  That's
just the way the demo was presented to me; I have no data on whether
certain numerical responses actually prime the carrot response above the
rate achieved simply by asking the respondent to name a vegetable.
