Across Space and Time: Infants Learn from Backward and Forward Visual Statistics
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Tummeltshammer, Kristen; Amso, Dima; French, Robert M.; Kirkham, Natasha Z. – Developmental Science, 2017
This study investigates whether infants are sensitive to backward and forward transitional probabilities within temporal and spatial visual streams. Two groups of 8-month-old infants were familiarized with an artificial grammar of shapes, comprising backward and forward base pairs (i.e. two shapes linked by strong backward or forward transitional…

Johnson, Elizabeth K.; Tyler, Michael D. – Developmental Science, 2010
Past research has demonstrated that infants can rapidly extract syllable distribution information from an artificial language and use this knowledge to infer likely word boundaries in speech. However, artificial languages are extremely simplified with respect to natural language. In this study, we ask whether infants' ability to track transitional…
