Becoming syntactic. (2006, background): “Structural priming during development? Yes (e.g., Savage et al. 2003; Huttenlocher et al. 2004; Whitehurst et al., 1974) Yes”
Structural Priming as Implicit Learning in Language Acquisition: The Persistence of Lexical and Structural Priming in 4-Year-Olds (2006, background): “Given that the children in the Huttenlocher et al. (2004) study were only 6 months older than the present children, our claim would be that children between 4;0 and 5;0 are consolidating their schematic representation of the passive and that, under certain circumstances, small amounts of input can m”
Structural priming: a critical review. (2008, methodology): “A comparable issue arises in production studies using young children (Brooks & Tomasello, 1999; Huttenlocher, Vasilyeva, & Shimpi, 2004; Savage et al., 2003).”
Syntactic priming during language comprehension in three- and four-year-old children (2008, result): “Previous studies in both adults and children have shown that prior comprehension influences subsequent production (e.g., Allopenna et al., 1998; Huttenlocher et al., 2004).”
Abstract sentence representations in 3-year-olds: Evidence from language production and comprehension (2008, methodology): “Two children produced one truncated passive each; two children produced truncated passives with only one verb (Huttenlocher et al., 2004, based on data from Huttenlocher, Vasilyeva, Cymerman, & Levine, 2002).”
The development of shared syntax in second language learning* (2015, result): “Huttenlocher et al. (2004) reported abstract priming of transitives and datives in 4 and 5 year olds; these findings are consistent with an early study by Whitehurst, Ironsmith and Goldfein (1974).”
Is young children's passive syntax semantically constrained? Evidence from syntactic priming. (2012, methodology): “…have been taken as evidence that children already have an abstract (rather than lexically-specific) representation for the passive by 4 or 5 years (Huttenlocher et al., 2004) or even by 3 years (Bencini & Valian, 2008; Shimpi et al., 2007), which they used during comprehension and/or production…”
