本研究考察了美国主流英语儿童对第三人称单数/s/作为数字一致标记的理解。62名3-6岁说英语的儿童被要求完成一项理解任务，他们必须把注意力集中在动词上，作为数字一致的线索。总体而言，结果表明，只有5岁和6岁的儿童在理解中对第三人称单数/s/作为主语数的指标敏感，尽管他们在生产方面的能力较早。讨论了协议发展的影响。
This study examined the comprehension of third person singular /s/ as a number agreement marker in children speaking Mainstream American English (MAE). Sixty-two MAE-speaking children aged 3-6 years were presented with a comprehension task where they had to focus on the verb as a clue to number agreement. Overall, results showed that only the 5- and 6-year olds were sensitive to third person singular /s/ as an index of subject number in comprehension, despite their earlier command in production. The implications for development of agreement are discussed.
