Implication

Randomized trial demonstrates syntactic adaptation in sentence comprehension, indicating neural processing efficiency.

Key Points

This research aims to explore the effects of syntactic structures on sentence production and comprehension through physiological and behavioral measures.
Participants underwent fMRI scanning to measure blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) responses during silent reading of sentences.
A self-paced reading paradigm was utilized to record reading times based on syntactic structure similarity.
Reading time decreased for sentences with similar syntactic structures compared to dissimilar ones.
Left anterior temporal activation was lower during processing of similar syntactic forms, demonstrating neural effects of syntactic adaptation.
