Syntactic chunking reveals a core syntactic representation of multi-digit numbers, which is generative and automatic

2021-12-26

Abstract excerpt

<p>Representing the base-10 structure of numbers is a challenging cognitive ability, unique to humans, but it is yet unknown how precisely this is done. Here, we examined whether and how literate adults represent a number’s full syntactic structure. In 5 experiments, participants repeated number-word sequences and we systematically varied the order of words within each sequence. Repetition on grammatical sequences...
