Expectation violation enhances the development of new abstract syntactic representations: Evidence from an artificial language learning study

G Bovolenta, E Marsden - Language Development …, 2021 - research.bangor.ac.uk
Prediction error is known to enhance priming effects for familiar syntactic structures; it also
strengthens the formation of new declarative memories. Here, we investigate whether …
