3 days ago · For example, syntactic priming effects are larger if the primed structure is rare or unexpected given the broader input (e.g., Bernolet & Hartsuiker, 2010; Fine & Jaeger, 2013; Jaeger & Snider, 2013; Peter et al., 2015), and verb-bias adaptation effects are larger when the pairings of verbs and structures are unexpected, given the preexperimental biases of each verb (Lin & Fisher, 2017).

As this process unfolds, the dynamic system of form-meaning pairings and grammatical categories that they have acquired becomes progressively more abstract, organized and ...

First-order logic uses quantified variables over non-logical objects, and allows the use of sentences that contain variables, so that rather than ...
