Fig 1.
Example stimulus array during a syntactic priming trial.
A video of the stimulus model signs the prime “CHOOSE ROCK GREEN.” The participant (not shown) chooses from an array of 3 different objects shown in 3 different colors. Next appears the target, which can be described as BIRD GREEN (post-nominal) or GREEN BIRD (pre-nominal). The individual in this figure has given written informed consent (as outlined in PLOS consent form) to publish these case details.
Fig 2.
Syntactic priming with lexical boost in hearing L2 signers.
Hearing L2 signers used post-nominal descriptions more after post-nominal primes (plain bars) than after pre-nominal primes (hashed bars), especially when the noun was repeated from prime to target. Error bars represent SEM.
Fig 3.
Equivalent syntactic priming across groups.
Signers in each population produce more post-nominal descriptions after post-nominal primes (plain bars) than after pre-nominal primes (hashed bars). Error bars represent SEM.
