本文报道了一项个体差异研究，该研究调查了内隐统计学习在儿童句法习得中的作用。100名4岁5个月至6岁11个月的儿童完成了内隐统计学习测试、外显陈述性学习测试以及语言和非语言能力的标准化测试。他们还完成了一项句法启动任务，这项任务提供了一个儿童对语言结构输入频率变化的检测和反应能力的动态指标。结果表明，内隐统计学习能力与启动结构的长期维持直接相关。这一结果首次实证证明了儿童内隐统计学习和句法习得之间的直接联系。
This article reports on an individual differences study that investigated the role of implicit statistical learning in the acquisition of syntax in children. One hundred children ages 4 years 5 months through 6 years 11 months completed a test of implicit statistical learning, a test of explicit declarative learning, and standardized tests of verbal and nonverbal ability. They also completed a syntactic priming task, which provided a dynamic index of children's facility to detect and respond to changes in the input frequency of linguistic structure. The results showed that implicit statistical learning ability was directly associated with the long-term maintenance of the primed structure. The results constitute the first empirical demonstration of a direct association between implicit statistical learning and syntactic acquisition in children.
