Statistical learning, the ability to extract regularities from input (eg, in language), is likely
supported by learners' prior expectations about how component units co‐occur. In this study …

One proposal that can explain the remarkable pace of word learning in young children is
that they leverage the language-internal distributional similarity of familiar and novel words …

The contribution of consonants and vowels in spoken word processing has been widely
investigated, and studies have found a phenomenon of a Consonantal bias (C-bias) …
