The possibility is examined that grammatical structure is acquired by" contextual generalization"—a type of generalization which results from a S's learning the position of a unit in a sequence. Several experiments, in which S's learn miniature artificial languages, demonstrate and explore certain aspects of this type of generalization in verbal learning. From the experiments a theory of the learning of grammatical structure is developed. Confrontation of the theory with facts about the structure of natural languages, especially English, suggests that it may be tenable, provided its scope is narrowed in ways discussed, and provided that an additional assumption is made—that as well as learning the locations of units, Ss form paired associates whose foci are closed-class morphemes, ie, articles, auxiliaries, affixes, etc.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
