The processes underlying word reading are shaped by statistical properties of the writing
system. According to some theoretical perspectives, reading acquisition should be …

One important aspect of human cognition involves the learning of structured information
encountered in our environment, a phenomenon known as statistical learning. A growing …

Over the last two decades statistical learning (SL) has evolved into a key explanatory
mechanism underlying the incidental learning of regularities across different domains of …

A compelling demonstration of implicit learning is the human ability to unconsciously detect
and internalize statistical patterns of complex environmental input. This ability, called …

This special issue bundles a set of eight empirical studies and one review article that
explore the role of statistical learning (SL) mechanisms (both domain-specific and domain …

Statistical views of literacy development maintain that proficient reading requires the
assimilation of myriad statistical regularities present in the writing system. Indeed, previous …

There is growing interest in the link between implicit statistical learning (SL) and reading
ability. Although learning to read involves both auditory and visual modalities, it is not known …

The purpose of this meta-analytic review is to investigate the relation between statistical
learning (SL) and language-related outcomes, and between SL and reading-related …

Computational models can be useful tools for exploring how writing systems influence
learning to read, skilled reading, and the neural representation of reading. Although I am …

Learning to read and spell involves learning about the written forms of words and how these
are linked to language. Writing systems include formal patterns, which pertain to the …
