我们使用句法启动范式对说西班牙语的4岁和5岁儿童的主动形式和被动形式的启动效应进行了研究。在一项基线实验中，我们考察了儿童对Fue被动形式的使用情况，发现他们的言语中几乎不存在这种形式，尽管他们产生了这种形式的重要成分。孩子们使用更频繁的西班牙语被动形式，无主语/se-被动。在启动实验中，我们向孩子们展示了用主动句或全被动句描述的图画。然后，孩子们描述新奇的图画。主动启动和被动启动都被诱导出来，然而，儿童并没有产生为他们提供的被动启动。取而代之的是，孩子们使用了无主观性/自我被动和我们所说的功能被动，就像功能被动一样，强调动作的耐心。我们认为，儿童使用不同的被动形式表明，他们对实验者的输入很敏感，因为这涉及到场景解释和句法。
We used a syntactic priming paradigm to show priming effects for active and passive forms in monolingual Spanish-speaking four- and five-year-olds. In a baseline experiment, we examined children's use of the fue-passive form and found it was virtually non-existent in their speech, although they produced important elements of the form. Children used a more frequent Spanish passive form, the subjectless/se-passive. In a priming experiment, we presented children with drawings described using either active or fue-passive sentences. Children then described novel drawings. Priming was induced for active and passive forms; however, children did not produce the fue-passive provided for them. Instead, children used the subjectless/se-passive and what we term the function-passive, which like the fue-passive, emphasize the patient of the action. We argue that children's use of different passive forms suggests they are sensitive to experimenter's input as it relates to scene interpretation and to syntax.
