Considerable research indicates that learners are sensitive to probabilistic structure in
laboratory studies of artificial language learning. However, the artificial and simplified nature …

Infants differ substantially in their rates of language growth, and slow growth predicts later
academic difficulties. In this study, we explored how the amount of speech directed to infants …

Most research in statistical learning (SL) has focused on the mean success rates of
participants in detecting statistical contingencies at a group level. In recent years, however …

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 …

Both the input directed to the child, and the child's ability to process that input, are likely to
impact the child's language acquisition. We explore how these factors inter-relate by tracking …

Developmental disorders of language include developmental language disorder, dyslexia,
and motor-speech disorders such as articulation disorder and stuttering. These disorders …

The purpose of this meta-analytic review is to investigate the relation between statistical
