Statistical learning (SL) is a method of learning based on the transitional probabilities
embedded in sequential phenomena such as music and language. It has been considered …

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 …

How the brain groups sequential sensory events into chunks is a fundamental question in
cognitive neuroscience. This study investigates whether top–down attention or specific tasks …

The statistical account of language acquisition asserts that language is learned through
computations on the statistical regularities present in natural languages. This type of account …

To learn words, humans extract statistical regularities from speech. Multiple species use
statistical learning also to process speech, but the neural underpinnings of speech …

Electroencephalography (EEG) is a non-invasive and painless recording of cerebral activity,
particularly well-suited for studying young infants, allowing the inspection of cerebral …

Humans are highly attuned to patterns in the environment. This ability to detect
environmental patterns, referred to as statistical learning, plays a key role in many diverse …
