Sentence examples for syntactic comprehension from inspiring English sources

Auditory, written single word and sentence comprehension were evaluated using subtests from the Comprehensive Aphasia Test battery (Swinburn et al., 2004), and auditory syntactic comprehension was evaluated using the Test of Reception of Grammar (Bishop, 1989).

In this study we explore the impact of a morphological deficit on syntactic comprehension.

Prior research on the neural bases of syntactic comprehension suggests that activation in the left inferior frontal gyrus (lIFG) correlates with the processing of word order variations.

Simulation results from Caplan's [Caplan, D., Baker, C., & Dehaut, F. (1985). Syntactic determinants of sentence comprehension in aphasia. Cognition, 21, 117 175] test of syntactic comprehension, and from Gomez and Schvaneveldts' [Gomez, R. L., & Schvaneveldt, R. W. (1994). What is learned from artificial grammars?. Transfer tests of simple association.

As the Eyes test involves lexical access, verbal abilities were also evaluated: syntactic comprehension was assessed with the Token Test and semantic access from words with the PPTT.

None of the patients included in the study presented any deficit either in syntactic comprehension, as measured by the Token Test, or in semantic access, as measured by the verbal PPTT.

Several behavioral experiments have shown that syntactic comprehension-to-production priming is possible.

Therefore, syntactic comprehension-to-production priming effects cannot easily be compared with production-to-comprehension priming effects.

They show that in the presence of a syntactic impairment, comprehension can take place but only if the sentence's semantic structure is rich enough.

Our results disclose the following organizational principles of syntactic processing in comprehension and production: 1) not just the same brain regions, but the same neuronal populations subserve syntactic encoding in production and syntactic decoding in comprehension.

Children with SLI were identified by assessment on six tests assessing phonological processing, receptive and expressive vocabulary, receptive grammar, syntactic formulation and comprehension.
