| Abstract(in English) | The learning of an artificial grammar has been used to compare humans, non-human primates, and other animal species such as songbirds. We had human adults and children learn an artificial A^2 B^2 grammar capable of generating center embedding, to see if the results from human adults are generalizable to human children. The participants tried to discriminate between grammatical and ungrammatical sentences, in a go/no-go paradigm typically used to study animals. Learning was successful in most adults. However, it was not the case for children, questioning the full generalizability of the adult data. |
