!!!Imperfect Learning: An Experimental Study of Russian Genitive Plural Allomorphy (contains nonce words): http://www.linguistics.ucla.edu/people/grads/pertsova/GenPl.pdf
Quotes from it:
"Linguists commonly measure speakers’ linguistic competence by their ability to extend
generalizations to borrowed or novel words. Since a large portion of loanwords in Russian are indeclinable, they do not provide a rich testing ground for our purposes. In the remainder of this paper, I consider an experiment wherein I test speakers’ knowledge of the genitive plural allomorph distribution using a wug test paradigm (Berko, 1958). In a wug test, subjects are normally prompted to inflect novel nonsense words that could be words of their language. Their responses are taken as indicative of their implicit knowledge of grammatical principles under investigation. I discuss the particulars of my wug test design at greater length below."
*10 participants in total. Unclear how much time to they live in LA. 60 stimuli. Presented unaltered nonce words in a paragraph with the same nonce word altered into something else.

!!! Lexical categories at the edge of the word: http://cnl.psych.cornell.edu/papers/OC-wordedges.pdf
Quote from it:
The ending phonetic form of words has also been invoked in processes of compound formation (Haskell, MacDonald, & Seidenberg, 2003). Recent experimental work in adult word learning also found a primacy and recency facilitation effect: adults repeated the beginning and end of nonwords more accurately than the middle of words (Gupta, 2005). Since nonwords are for adults what new words are for children, a reasonable assumption is that whatever sequencing mechanism is responsible for word learning, it
displays a learning bias for the beginning and ending of words. There is also evidence that the orthographic beginning and ending segments of words provide useful information that can be integrated in part-of-speech taggers (Mikheev,1997).
