Primary grade children were tested for their ability to imitate, comprehend, and produce active and passive sentences and reversible and nonreversible sentences. The results showed that children are able to respond correctly on the imitation task before the comprehension task and to respond correctly on the comprehension task before the production task. Active-voice sentences were correctly responded to more frequently than passive-voice sentences; nonreversible sentences were correctly… Expand

The comprehension of active and passive sentences as a function of pragmatic expectations
Active and passive reversible sentences were presented to 48 Ss. When the sentences were not reversed, the relation between the logical subject (LS) and the logical object (LO) was pragmaticallyExpand
Reversing Irreversible Sentences: Semantic and Syntactic Factors*
Active and passive sentences were presented with probable and improbable semantic content to 100 first graders and 100 kindergarteners. An “irreversible” sentence was considered probable and itsExpand
The Role of Modeling and Automatic Reinforcement in the Construction of the Passive Voice
The role of modeling and automatic reinforcement in the acquisition of the passive voice is explained and it is proposed that the children’s behavior was automatically reinforced for using the passiveVoice. Expand

The results strongly suggest that perspective-taking difficulties mask children's true competence on passives and that even 6-year-olds may not yet have attained the full perspective- taking ability required for comprehension of passive sentences. Expand
Comprehension of complex sentences in children at three levels of cognitive development
The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between level of cognitive development and the comprehension of complex sentences in children. Twenty males and 20 females at theExpand

Surface structure complexity, transformational sentence type and sentence length were investigated as variables in a sentence imitation task with pre-school children and sentences were found to affect sentence imitation in a consistent manner. Expand
Experimental Manipulation of the Production of Active and Passive Voice in Children
Two experiments were carried out in an attempt to manipulate the voice in which children encoded a denotative domain of events, and when the acted-upon element or recipient of the action was presented first, there tended to be an increase in the number of passive voice sentences produced. Expand
Children's use ofGet passives
Children's use ofget in passivelike constructions was examined and data were consistent with predictions derived from a model of lexical directionality: Children used moreget thanbe passives and more truncated than full passives. Expand
Focus of attention in recall of active and passive sentences
An attempt was made to manipulate the voice in which sentences were remembered by varying the focus of the child's attention both at the time of sentence storage and at the time of sentenceExpand
Neuronal Activation for Semantically Reversible Sentences
It is concluded that the processing of semantically reversible sentences places additional demands on the subarticulation component of phonological working memory. Expand


Control of grammar in imitation, comprehension, and production
Summary The familiar assertion that, in language development, understanding precedes production was tested for 10 grammatical contrasts with 12 3-year-old children. Understanding was operationalizedExpand
A Chronometric Study of Some Relations between Sentences
An attempt was made to study how people handle syntactic relations among English sentences by measuring the time required to convert one type of sentence into another, and the relation of these results to the distinction between rules of formation and rules of transformation in descriptive linguistics is discussed.

Quantitative Study of the Speech of Australian Children
The syntax of the speech of Australian pre-school children is studied quantitatively. Two syntactic systems for this language are designed and samples of their outputs are given.
