A growing number of theories of cognition suggest that many of our behaviors result from the
ability to implicitly extract and use statistical redundancies present in complex environments …

Salient distractors such as color singletons typically capture attention. Recent studies have
shown that probabilistic expectations of color singletons' occurrence—even when their …

Creativity is part of human nature and is commonly understood as a phenomenon whereby
something original and worthwhile is formed. Owing to this ability, humans can produce …

Implicit statistical learning (ISL) describes our ability to tacitly pick up regularities from our
environment therefore, shaping our behavior. A broad understanding of ISL incorporates a …

The implicit acquisition of complex probabilistic regularities has been found to be crucial in
numerous automatized cognitive abilities, including language processing and associative …

Tourette syndrome (TS) is a childhood-onset neurodevelopmental disorder that primarily
affects the cortico-basal ganglia-thalamo-cortical (CBGTC) circuitry and is characterized by …

The term statistical learning was originally used to describe sensitivity to conditional
relations between syllables in the context of word segmentation. Subsequent research has …

Ecological rationality results from matching decision strategies to appropriate environmental
structures, but how does the matching happen? We propose that people learn the statistical …

Purpose Statistical learning—the ability to learn patterns in environmental input—is
increasingly recognized as a foundational mechanism necessary for the successful …

Brain models music as a hierarchy of dynamical systems that encode probability
distributions and complexity (ie, entropy and uncertainty). Through musical experience over …
