We propose a series of experimental measurements of the exclusive ([ital N],[ital N][prime][pi]) process on light nuclei. It is suggested that different physical effects can be isolated by the following procedures: (a) varying the incident energy of the projectile nucleon at fixed nuclear energy and momentum transfer; (b) measuring ratios of cross sections to different [ital T][sub [ital z]] substates of the same final nuclear isotopic multiplet; and (c) comparing ratios of cross sections for high spin non-normal parity states to those of low spin normal parity states. We discuss each of these methods for comparing data, and show what physical information can be extracted with each method.
