In recent years, statistical learning (SL) research has seen a growing interest in tracking
individual performance in SL tasks, mainly as a predictor of linguistic abilities. We review …

Statistical learning is a key concept in our understanding of language acquisition. Ample
work has highlighted its role in numerous linguistic functions—yet statistical learning is not a …

Infants, children and adults are capable of extracting recurring patterns from their
environment through statistical learning (SL), an implicit learning mechanism that is …

Statistical Learning (SL) is typically considered to be a domain-general mechanism by which
cognitive systems discover the underlying statistical regularities in the input. Recent findings …

From a theoretical perspective, most discussions of statistical learning (SL) have focused on
the possible “statistical” properties that are the object of learning. Much less attention has …

The computations involved in statistical learning have long been debated. Here, we build on
work suggesting that a basic memory process, chunking, may account for the processing of …

Do commonly used statistical-learning tasks capture stable individual differences in
children? Infants, children, and adults are capable of using statistical learning (SL) to extract …

Converging evidence points to a role for the hippocampus in statistical learning, but open
questions about its necessity remain. Evidence for necessity comes from Schapiro and …

A core question in cognitive science concerns how humans acquire and represent
knowledge about their environments. To this end, quantitative theories of learning processes …

Humans are capable of extracting recurring patterns from their environment via statistical
learning (SL), an ability thought to play an important role in language learning and learning …
