Using a particular syntactic pattern in one's speech primes use of that pattern in subsequent speech.
“The first evidence of syntactic priming came from Bock (1986), who showed that using a particular syntactic pattern in one's speech primes use of that pattern in subsequent speech.”

The probability of a particular syntactic form being used in a description increased when that form had occurred in the prime, under conditions minimizing attention to speech and syntactic features.
“The probabilityof a particular sy ntactic form being used in the description increased when that form had occurred in the prime, and this happened under presentation conditions that minimized the participants' attention to their speech, to the syntactic features of the priming sentences, and to connections between the priming sentences and the subsequent pictures.”

“For example, much research on language production has investigated influences on speakers’ choice between two or more possible structures (see e.g. research on syntactic persistence, Bock, 1986; Pickering & Branigan, 1998; among many others; or in research on speech errors).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
