Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) A picture description task with spoken primes and targets was conducted to examine whether Japanese EFL learners’ syntactic priming effect persists with filler sentences (lag) intervened between primes and targets. The results show that persistent syntactic priming effect was observed with the Prepositional-Object (PO) primes in the long-lag condition, indicating that the learners were changing knowledge of PO sentence structure from declarative to procedural by repeated exposure to the structure in implicit learning mechanism. Moreover, the proportion of cumulative PO Priming in the long-lag condition was significantly larger than the proportions of cumulative PO Priming in the no-lag condition, indicating repeated exposure of the syntactic structures with spaced intervals is effective for learners to sustain and retrieve the knowledge.
