在之前的两篇论文（Lombardi & Potter，1992; Potter & Lombardi，1990）中，我们报告了证据表明，立即回忆一个句子需要从信息水平再生，而不是从逐字表征。然而，参与者倾向于重现表面句法，即使有两个意义等同的表面结构可用（例如，对于与格动词，“把信给了她的母亲”，“把信给了她的母亲”）。在三个实验中，我们验证了这样一个假设，即这种逐字偏向是句法启动的结果（Beck，1986）。在实验1中，单个句子被召回;主句之前的目标与格句。在实验2和3中，两个小句的句子被召回;第二个小句充当一个已经被感知但在第一个小句产生时还没有被召回的启动子，反之亦然。当主句或小句是一个与格，不匹配的表面结构的目标有一个增加的变化，交替（启动）结构回忆的目标，与控制启动。这些结果支持这一假设，即简单地感知一个句子就足以启动其表层句法结构，有助于逐字回忆。(C)北京：科学出版社.
In two previous papers (Lombardi & Potter, 1992; Potter & Lombardi, 1990) we reported evidence that immediate recall of a sentence requires regeneration from the message level, rather than from a verbatim representation. However, participants tended to reproduce the surface syntax even when there were two meaning-equivalent surface structures available (e.g., for dative verbs, "gave the letter to her mother," "gave her mother the letter"). In three experiments we tested the hypothesis that this verbatim bias is the result of syntactic priming (Beck, 1986). In Experiment 1 single sentences were recalled; the prime sentence preceded the target dative sentence. In Experiments 2 and 3 two-clause sentences were recalled; the second clause served as a prime that had been perceived but not yet recalled when the first clause was produced, or vice versa. When the prime sentence or clause was a dative that mismatched the surface structure of the target there was an increase in changes to the alternate (primed) structure in recall of the target, compared with control primes. These results support the hypothesis that simply perceiving a sentence is enough to prime its surface syntactic structure, contributing to verbatim recall. (C) 1998 Academic Press.
