Statistical learning (SL) is a mechanism that learners use to segment words from continuous speech and map them to their correct referents through the computation of co-occurrence …
Recent laboratory experiments have shown that both infant and adult learners can acquire word‐referent mappings using cross‐situational statistics. The vast majority of the work on …
