Perception involves making sense of a dynamic, multimodal environment. In the absence of
mechanisms capable of exploiting the statistical patterns in the natural world, infants would …

New efforts are using head cameras and eye-trackers worn by infants to capture everyday
visual environments from the point of view of the infant learner. From this vantage point, the …

The cognitive system has the capacity to learn and make use of environmental regularities–
known as statistical learning (SL), including for the implicit guidance of attention. For …

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 …

A growing body of research investigates individual differences in the learning of statistical
structure, tying them to variability in cognitive (dis) abilities. This approach views statistical …

The central argument presented in this paper is that statistical learning (SL) is an ability
comprised of multiple components that operate largely implicitly. Components relating to the …

Statistical-learning (SL) theory offers an experience-based account of typical and atypical
spoken and written language acquisition. Recent work has provided initial support for this …

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 …

Purpose Statistical learning research seeks to identify the means by which learners, with
little perceived effort, acquire the complexities of language. In the past 50 years, numerous …
