三个实验考察了在线理解过程中影响句法启动的因素。在所有实验中，包含简化关系从句的主句被呈现在包含相同结构的目标句之前。先前的研究表明，当句法上相关的主句紧接在目标之前时，人们的反应会更快。在本研究中，使用事件相关电位和眼动测量来评估当一个或多个不相关的填充句出现在主语和目标语之间时，句子理解中的启动是否持续。在实验1中，无论是在没有介入性无关填充词的情况下，还是在介入性和目的性填充词之间有一个无关填充性填充词的情况下，都发现目标句的P600降低。因此，处理主句有助于处理目标句的句法形式。在实验2和实验3中，眼动实验表明，当主语和目标句之间有三个填充句时，目标句的加工变得更容易。这些实验表明，当无关材料出现在主句之后和目标句之前时，可以观察到理解中的启动效应。我们解释了关于启动的剩余激活和内隐学习解释的结果。
Three experiments investigated factors contributing to syntactic priming during on-line comprehension. In all of the experiments, a prime sentence containing a reduced relative clause was presented prior to a target sentence that contained the same structure. Previous studies have shown that people respond more quickly when a syntactically related prime sentence immediately precedes a target. In the current study, ERP and eye-tracking measures were used to assess whether priming in sentence comprehension persists when one or more unrelated filler sentences appear between the prime and the target. In experiment 1, a reduced P600 was found to target sentences both when there were no intervening unrelated fillers, and when there was one unrelated filler between the prime and the target. Thus, processing the prime sentence facilitated processing of the syntactic form of the target sentence. In experiments 2 and 3, eye-tracking experiments showed that target sentence processing was facilitated when three filler sentences intervened between the prime and the target. These experiments show that priming effects in comprehension can be observed when unrelated material appears after a prime sentence and before the target. We interpret the results with respect to residual activation and implicit learning accounts of priming.
