Within the cognitive sciences, most researchers assume that it is job of linguists to investigate how language represented, and they do so largely by building theories based on explicit judgments about patterns acceptability - whereas task psychologists determine processed, in doing so, not typically question linguists' representational assumptions. We challenge this division labor arguing structural priming provides an implicit method investigating linguistic representations should end...
Strong evidence suggests that prior syntactic context affects language production (e.g., J. K. Bock, 1986). The authors report 4 experiments used an expression-picture matching task to investigate whether it also ambiguity resolution in comprehension. All examined the interpretation of prepositional phrases were ambiguous between high and low attachment. After reading a prime expression with high-attached interpretation, participants tended interpret phrase target as highly attached if...
Abstract We report an experiment that examined whether children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) spontaneously converge, or align, syntactic structure a conversational partner. Children ASD were more likely to produce passive describe picture after hearing their interlocutor use unrelated when playing card game. Furthermore, they converged the same extent as did both chronological and verbal age‐matched controls. These results suggest linguistic impairment is characteristic of ASD, in...
