当语言输入包含不一致的语法形式使用时，儿童会更一致地使用这些形式，这一过程被称为“规则化”。失聪儿童从非母语使用者的父母那里学习美国手语时，会将父母不一致的用法规则化。在对包含不一致使用的语素的人造语言的研究中，儿童（而非成人）会将这些形式规则化。然而，对于这种规则化发生的确切情况知之甚少。在三个实验中，我们研究了输入变化的类型和学习者的年龄如何影响规则化。总体而言，我们的研究结果表明，虽然成年人倾向于重现其输入中发现的不一致性，但幼儿会引入规则性：他们学习其出现是有条件且系统的不同形式，但他们会改变不一致的变化使其更规则。年龄较大的儿童表现更像成年人，这表明规则化随着成熟和认知能力而改变。
When linguistic input contains inconsistent use of grammatical forms, children produce these forms more consistently, a process called ‘regularization.’ Deaf children learning American Sign Language from parents who are non-native users of the language regularize their parents’ inconsistent usages. In studies of artificial languages containing inconsistently used morphemes, children, but not adults, regularized these forms. However, little is known about the precise circumstances in which such regularization occurs. In three experiments we investigate how the type of input variation and the age of learners affects regularization. Overall our results suggest that while adults tend to reproduce the inconsistencies found in their input, young children introduce regularity: they learn varying forms whose occurrence is conditioned and systematic, but they alter inconsistent variation to be more regular. Older children perform more like adults, suggesting that regularization changes with maturation and cognitive capacities.
