Lexical overlap increases syntactic priming in aphasia independently of short-term memory abilities: Evidence against the explicit memory account of the lexical boost

Structural Priming Is Supported By Different Components Of Non-Declarative Memory: Evidence From Priming Across The Lifespan

TLDR
This study investigates how non-declarative memory could support both the transient, short-term and the persistent, long-term structural priming effects commonly seen in the literature, and proposes that these characteristics are supported by different subcomponents of non-Declaratives memory: Perceptual and conceptual non- DeclarativeMemory respectively.

Memory encoding of syntactic information involves domain-general attentional resources. Evidence from dual-task studies

TLDR
The results illustrate how, during the encoding of syntactic information, domain-general attention differentially affects syntactic processing, whereas during the retrieval of Syntactic information domain- general attention does not influence syntacticprocessing.

Healthy Aging and Sentence Production: Disrupted Lexical Access in the Context of Intact Syntactic Planning

TLDR
It is indicated that healthy ageing disrupts the lexical, but not the syntactic, processes involved in sentence production, and older adults do appear to encounter problems with managing the activation and integration of lexical items into syntactic structures.

Knowledge and learning of verb biases in amnesia

An exemplar model should be able to explain all syntactic priming phenomena: A commentary on Ambridge (2020)

The authors argue that Ambridge’s radical exemplar account of language cannot clearly explain all syntactic priming evidence, such as inverse preference effects (greater priming for less frequent…

Structural priming is determined by global syntax rather than internal phrasal structure: Evidence from young and older adults.

TLDR
It is demonstrated that global, not internal, syntactic structure determines syntactic choices in young and older adults, as predicted by residual activation and implicit learning models of structural priming.

Memory systems of the brain

TLDR
A historical lens is presented with which to contextualize the idea that conscious and unconscious memory processes are composed of distinct systems, and a current account for the multiple memory systems model is provided.

Know-how, intellectualism, and memory systems

ABSTRACT A longstanding tradition in philosophy distinguishes between knowthatand know-how. This traditional “anti-intellectualist” view is soentrenched in folk psychology that it is often invoked in…

Memory for Syntax Despite Amnesia

TLDR
Syntactic persistence is a tendency for speakers to reproduce sentence structures independently of accompanying meanings, words, or sounds, and the result reveals that procedural memory is capable of supporting abstract, relational knowledge.

Memory for Syntax Despite

Syntactic persistence is a tendency for speak- ers to reproduce sentence structures independently of ac- companying meanings, words, or sounds. The memory mechanisms behind syntactic persistence are…

Syntactic Facilitation in Agrammatic Sentence Production

TLDR
The main findings were that Broca's aphasics show stronger syntactic priming effects than controls; the effects are automatic rather than strategic; and in conditions with priming, Brocas produce relatively complex sentences (e.g., passives).

The persistence of syntactic priming revisited

Syntactic Persistence in Dutch

TLDR
Three experiments are reported that showed effects of “structure priming,” the tendency to repeat syntactic structure across successive sentences, in a previously untested language, Dutch, suggesting that priming is not related to baseline frequency.

Syntactic persistence in language production

The persistence of structural priming: transient activation or implicit learning?

TLDR
Although memory may have short-term consequences for some components of this kind of priming, the persisting effects are more compatible with a learning account than a transient memory account.

Syntactic priming in spoken production: Linguistic and temporal interference

TLDR
An experiment with spoken sentence completion indicated that strong and similar priming occurred in all three cases, therefore lending support to the claim that spoken priming is long lasting.

A Neural Dissociation within Language: Evidence that the Mental Dictionary Is Part of Declarative Memory, and that Grammatical Rules Are Processed by the Procedural System

TLDR
Evidence is presented that the lexicon is part of a temporal-parietalhnedial-temporal declarative memory system and that granlmatical rules are processed by a frontamasal-ganglia procedural system.
