Child Judgments of Sentences Varying in Grammatical Complexity
Scholl, Dennis M.; Ryan, Ellen Bouchard
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 20, 2, 274-285, Oct 75

With a nondifferentially reinforced forced-choice procedure, it was found that responses of 48 children (aged 5 and 7) varied as a function of the grammatical complexity of stimulus sentences.
