Sleeping neonates track transitional probabilities in speech but only retain the first syllable of words
Extracting statistical regularities from the environment is a primary learning mechanism that
might support language acquisition. While it has been shown that infants are sensitive to …

Robust effects of working memory demand during naturalistic language comprehension in language-selective cortex
To understand language, we must infer structured meanings from real-time auditory or visual
signals. Researchers have long focused on word-by-word structure building in working …

Hippocampal maturation drives memory from generalization to specificity
During early ontogeny, the rapid and cumulative acquisition of world knowledge contrasts
with slower improvements in the ability to lay down detailed and long-lasting episodic …

Investigating implicit statistical learning mechanisms through contextual cueing
A Goujon, A Didierjean, S Thorpe - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2015 - cell.com
Since its inception, the contextual cueing (CC) paradigm has generated considerable
interest in various fields of cognitive sciences because it constitutes an elegant approach to …

Learning hierarchical sequence representations across human cortex and hippocampus
Sensory input arrives in continuous sequences that humans experience as segmented units,
eg, words and events. The brain's ability to discover regularities is called statistical learning …

Linguistic entrenchment: Prior knowledge impacts statistical learning performance
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 …
