“…Kaschak and Glenberg (2004) reported that learning of the needs construction transfers between spoken and written language and transfers to at least one other verb. Similarly, Cleland and Pickering (2006) have reported structural priming across spoken and written modalities, and structural priming across verbs has been reported in many places (e.g., Bock, 1986;Pickering & Branigan, 1998). The participants in Kaschak and Glenberg's (2004) experiments showed more rapid gains in processing the (unfamiliar) needs construction than in processing constructions with which they were already familiar.…”

“…It is worth noting that priming effects of this magnitude have been reported elsewhere in the literature. As one example, for Cleland and Pickering's (2006) Experiment 1 analysis (presented in their Table 2), we computed a ω 2 value of .71. A similarly large χ 2 was found for the Prime effect in their combined analysis of Experiments 1 and 3.…”

“…Consider the following (non-exhaustive) set of issues that have been explored with structural priming experiments. Cleland and Pickering (2006) used a structural priming paradigm to demonstrate that written and spoken language production trade on the same underlying representations. Branigan, Pickering, McLean, and Stewart (2006) report a series of structural priming experiments suggesting that the language production system uses the same procedures to generate syntactic structures in different syntactic contexts (e.g., when the structure in question is produced as a main clause or as part of a subordinate clause).…”

“…At present, this issue is far from settled. Early studies of structural priming (Bock, 1986(Bock, , 1989 demonstrated that such priming occurred in the absence of the repetition of lexical items across utterances, but more recent work (e.g., Cleland & Pickering, 2006;Pickering & Branigan, 1998) has shown that the repetition of verbs across utterances increases the amount of structural priming that is observed. Most studies in which this issue has been addressed have focused on the impact of a single preceding sentence (the "prime" sentence) on the production of a single subsequent sentence (the "target" sentence (2006) have proposed that whereas the "basic" structural priming effect driven by a mechanism of implicit learning within the language production system that is not affected by lexical factors, it is possible for the repetition of lexical items to affect structural priming through other mechanisms.…”

Is long-term structural priming affected by patterns of experience with individual verbs?☆

Several recent papers have reported long-term structural priming effects in experiments where previous patterns of experience with the double object and prepositional object constructions are shown to affect later patterns of language production for those constructions. The experiments reported in this paper address the extent to which these long-term priming effects are modulated by the participants' patterns of experience with particular verbs within the double object and prepositional object constructions. The results of three experiments show that patterns of experience with particular verbs using the double object or prepositional object constructions do not have much effect on the shape of the longterm structural priming effects reported elsewhere in the literature. These findings lend support to the claim that structural priming is the result of adaptations to the language production system that occur on an abstract, structural level of representation that is separate from representations regarding the behavior of particular lexical items in particular constructions [e.g., Chang, F., Dell, G. S., & Bock, K. (2006). Becoming syntactic. Psychological Review, 113,. 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. KeywordsLanguage production; Structural priming; Lexical effects Structural priming refers to the tendency for speakers (or writers) to repeat syntactic structures across utterances (Bock, 1986). As one particularly well-studied example of this phenomenon, language producers who have recently produced (or comprehended) a double object construction ("Meghan gave her mom a kiss") are more likely to produce another double object construction to describe a transfer event ("Mike sent his boss a postcard") than to produce a prepositional object construction to describe the same event ("Mike sent a postcard to his boss"; see Bock, 1986;Bock & Griffin, 2000;Pickering & Branigan, 1998). Structural priming has been observed with a range of syntactic constructions (e.g., Corley & Scheepers, 2002;Griffin & Weinstein-Tull, 2003;Hartsuiker & Kolk, 1998;Hartsuiker & Westenberg, 2000), and has been observed both in lab tasks (e.g., Bock, 1986;Pickering & Branigan, 1998) and in samples of naturally occurring speech (e.g., Gries, 2005;Weiner & Labov, 1983). Although the repetition of lexical items (e.g., verbs) across utterances has been shown to affect the strength of the priming effects that are observed (e.g., Cleland & Corresponding author. Fax: +1 850 644 7739. kaschak@psy.fsu.edu (M.P. Kaschak). HHS Public Access Author Manuscript Author ManuscriptAuthor ManuscriptAuthor Manuscript Pickering, 2003;Pickering & Branigan, 1998), the hallmark of structural priming effects is that they arise in the absence of such lexical repetition (Bock, 1986(Bock, , 1989.Structural priming is of interest to psycholinguists (and other cognitive scientists) for several reasons. First, the presence (or absence) of structural priming between different kinds of sentences provides insight into the nature of the representations that und...

“…After this work, many researchers have adopted the prepositonal-object and double-object structures to study the syntactic priming in a native language research (Bock, 1989;Bock & Loebell, 1990;Cleland & Pickering, 2006;Corley & Scheepers, 2002;Hare & Goldberg, 1999;Pickering & Branigan, 1998). Most researches of bilingualism also adopt these two syntactic structures to explore the bilingual syntactic priming effect (Loebell & Bock, 2003;McDonough, 2006;Schoonbaert, Hartsuiker, & Pickering, 2007).…”

The syntactic priming is not only a very important repetitive priming phenomenon, it is also important for studying the syntactic representation and the speech production mechanism. Since the priming is related to the selecting process of the target sentences, it is of serious requirement for both the experimental materials and paradigms. The main questions studied in the syntactic priming correlates with the construction, the syntactic hierarchy and the representation of verbs, etc. Mastering the syntactic priming's experimental paradigm and knowing the corresponding research questions would be of great significance to studying the syntactic representation and the syntactic teaching in the field of teaching Chinese as a second language.
