It is the theory that regular past tense verbs ...&amp;#039;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Dual Mechanism theory also known as the &amp;quot;words and rules&amp;quot; theory was summarised in [[Steven Pinker]]'s book of the same name.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is the theory that regular past tense verbs are generated by rules and the irregular [[past tense]] verbs are stored in the [[lexicon]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In more explicit neurological terms that is that Regulars are generated in the [[Left interior frontal lobe]] which supports rules, and irregulars are stored in the [[Temporal lobe]] which houses the lexicon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This theory is backed up by evidence from aphasics with damage in one of the two areas listed above having difficulty with either the regulars or irregulars depending on the area damaged.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Crossmodal priming data (Marslen-Wilson, 1993) also stands up to the dual mechanism theory as facilitation occurs with the regular verbs but not the irregular ones.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Marslen-Wilson &amp;amp; Tyler (1998), however, showed that both regulars and irregulars pattern with [[repetition priming]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Wug-testing]] also shows that both regular and irregular past tense forms are [[productive]]. (Albright and Hayes, 2003)&lt;br /&gt;
