Medial wh productions in child English: Grammar or performance?

Abstract: In this talk, we show that children's productions of questions with medial wh phrases, such as what do you think what is under the top hat, correlate with measures of cognitive inhibition. We take this as evidence for a performance-based account of these productions, not a grammatical-based account.
