We constantly use implicit knowledge in everyday action and perception. The father who
tries to teach his child to ride a bicycle immediately realises that, despite riding to work every …

Comparative research has proven to be a fruitful field of study on the ontogenetic and
phylogenetic evolution of language, and on the cognitive capacities unique to humans or …

Every day we communicate using complex linguistic and musical systems, yet these modern
systems are the product of a much more ancient relationship with sound. When we speak …

Extracting regularities from a sequence of events is essential for understanding our
environment. However, there is no consensus regarding the extent to which such …

Extracting the regularities of our environment is one of our core cognitive abilities. To study
the fine‐grained dynamics of the extraction of embedded regularities, a method combining …

We review recent artificial language learning studies, especially those following Endress
and Bonatti (Endress AD, Bonatti LL. Rapid learning of syllable classes from a perceptually …

Learning the structure of event sequences is a ubiquitous problem in cognition and
particularly in language. One possible solution is to learn a probabilistic generative model of …

Infants face the paramount task of learning a language. Here, I review recent literature on
two separate topics that suggest they use a combination of both evolutionarily old and new …

Empirical evidence for statistical learning comes from artificial language tasks, but it is
unclear how these effects scale up outside of the lab. The current study turns to a real-world …

Abstract Experiments in Artificial Language Learning have revealed much about the
cognitive mechanisms underlying sequence and language learning in human adults, in …
