Structural priming in sentence comprehension: A single prime is enough. [PDF]
Experiencing a syntactic structure affects how we process subsequent instances of that structure. This phenomenon, called structural priming, is observed both in language production and in language comprehension.

Structural priming and frequency effects interact in Chinese sentence comprehension [PDF]
Previous research in several European languages has shown that the language processing system is sensitive to both structural frequency and structural priming effects.

Children’s Adaption to Input Change Using an Abstract Syntactic Representation: Evidence From Structural Priming in Mandarin-Speaking Preschoolers [PDF]
Two studies were undertaken to investigate structural priming in Mandarin-speaking three-, four- and, six-year-old children using a Mandarin-specific alternation between an SVO construction and a ba-construction (SbaOV).

Bi-Directional Evidence Linking Sentence Production and Comprehension: A Cross-Modality Structural Priming Study [PDF]
Natural language involves both speaking and listening. Recent models claim that production and comprehension share aspects of processing and are linked within individuals (Pickering and Garrod, 2004, 2013; MacDonald, 2013; Dell and Chang, 2014). Evidence

Fine-grained changes to implicit memory for language processing across adulthood [PDF]
BackgroundTraditionally, age-related changes to implicit memory have been considered minor or non-existent, especially when compared to changes to explicit cognition.

We investigate the extent to which modern neural language models are susceptible to structural priming, the phenomenon whereby the structure of a sentence makes the same structure more probable in a follow-up sentence.

Speakers' memory of sentence structure can persist and modulate the syntactic choices of subsequent utterances (i.e., structural priming). Much research on structural priming posited a multifactorial account by which an implicit learning process and a ...
