Sleuthing can be fun -- here is the core literature for the concept of
"behavior-setting", which I think is the same as synomorph (tentatively) as
it appears to a seminar on the subject in an ecological psychology seminar
at the U of Vienna:

For those who read academic German more confidently than I do, this site
has a lot of related material. It is also a lot of fun to read in Google's
automatic translation version to English! :)
