Background & aims Decades of research on structural priming–speakers' tacit reuse of
previously encountered syntactic structures in subsequent production and comprehension of …

When speaking or writing, people tend to re-use the syntactic structures they recently
encountered (structural priming). Individuals differ in the extent to which they are primed …

Influential theories and computational models suggest error-based learning plays an
important role in language acquisition: Children learn new words by generating predictions …

Speakers' knowledge of language is vast and exceedingly complex. It consists of countless
units that vary in size, ranging from individual sounds to words to multi-word units …

Is children's acquisition of structural knowledge driven by prediction errors? Error-driven
models of language acquisition propose that children generate expectations about …
