Syntactic priming during language comprehension in three- and four-year-old children (2008, background): “In addition, the two prime sentences in each block used two different verbs because varied primes have been found to lead to greater priming in older children (Savage et al., 2006).”
Child Language Acquisition: Contrasting Theoretical Approaches (2013, background): “Savage et al. (2006)); furthermore, the nature of the learning that allows children to set the value of parameters remains unclear.”
Learners' Production of Passives during Syntactic Priming Activities (2007, background): “Recent L1 and L2 acquisition studies (McDonough and Mackey in press; Savage et al. 2006) have suggested that experience with developmentally-advanced constructions with a variety of lexical items may have a greater impact on development than repeated experiences with the same lexical items.”
Structural priming: a critical review. (2008, background): “Scheepers (2003) explored the production of German relative-clause sentences such as (the German translation of) Someone shot the servant of the actress who was on the balcony.
