Statistical learning (SL) is involved in a wide range of basic and higher-order cognitive
functions and is taken to be an important building block of virtually all current theories of …

The term statistical learning in infancy research originally referred to sensitivity to transitional
probabilities. Subsequent research has demonstrated that statistical learning contributes to …

It is widely assumed that human learning and the structure of human languages are
intimately related. This relationship is frequently suggested to derive from a language …

Many explanations of the difficulties associated with interpreting object relative clauses
appeal to the demands that object relatives make on working memory. MacDonald and …

Although statistical learning and language have been assumed to be intertwined, this
theoretical presupposition has rarely been tested empirically. The present study investigates …

We investigated the developmental trajectory of nonadjacent dependency learning in an
artificial language. Infants were exposed to 1 of 2 artificial languages with utterances of the …

Considerable individual differences in language ability exist among normally developing
children and adults. Whereas past research have attributed such differences to variations in …

Prediction‐based processes appear to play an important role in language. Few studies,
however, have sought to test the relationship within individuals between prediction learning …

We used event-related potentials (ERPs) to investigate the time course and distribution of
brain activity while adults performed (1) a sequential learning task involving complex …

Recent studies of visual statistical learning (VSL) have demonstrated that statistical
regularities in sequences of visual stimuli can be automatically extracted, even without intent …
