Repetition is a central phenomenon of behavior, and researchers have made extensive use
of it to illuminate psychological functioning. In the language sciences, a ubiquitous form of …

Syntactic priming occurs when processing of a target sentence is facilitated following
processing of a prime sentence that has the same syntactic structure (Bock, 1986 Cognitive …

When we read or listen to language, we are faced with the challenge of inferring intended
messages from noisy input. This challenge is exacerbated by considerable variability …

Within the cognitive sciences, most researchers assume that it is the job of linguists to
investigate how language is represented, and that they do so largely by building theories …

Many studies have shown evidence for syntactic priming during language production (eg,
Bock, 1986). It is often assumed that comprehension and production share similar …

Understanding the processes that permit us to extract meaning from spoken or written
linguistic input requires elucidating how, when, and where in the brain sentences and …

Using Priming Methods in Second Language Research is an accessible introduction to the
use of auditory, semantic, and syntactic priming methods for second language (L2) …

Recently processed syntactic information is likely to play a fundamental role in online
sentence comprehension. For example, there is now a good deal of evidence that the …

Listeners are often capable of adjusting to the variability contained in individual
talkers'(speakers') speech. The vast majority of findings on talker adaptation are concerned …

Structural priming creates structural persistence. That is, differences in experience with
syntax can change subsequent language performance, and the changes can be observed in …
