Linking sounds to meanings: infant statistical learning in a natural language.
The processes of infant word segmentation and infant word learning have largely been studied separately. However, the ease with which potential word forms are segmented from fluent speech seems likely to influence subsequent mappings between words and their referents. To explore this process, we tested the link between the statistical coherence of sequences presented in fluent speech and infant...
متن کاملLinking Learning to Looking: Habituation and Association in Infant Statistical Language Learning
Recent experiments have shown the importance of statistical learning in infant language acquisition. Computational models of such learning, however, often take the form of corpus analyses and are thus difficult to connect to empirical data. We report a cross-situational learning experiment which demonstrates robust individual differences in learning between infants. We then present a novel gene...
متن کاملLinking infants’ distributional learning abilities to natural language acquisition
This study examines the link between distributional patterns in the input and infants’ acquisition of non-adjacent dependencies. In two Headturn Preference experiments, Dutch-learning 24-month-olds (but not 17-month-olds) were found to track the remote dependency between the definite article het and the diminutive suffix -je while no such evidence was obtained for the remote dependency between ...
متن کاملwillingness to communicate in the iranian context: language learning orientation and social support
why some learners are willing to communicate in english, concurrently others are not, has been an intensive investigation in l2 education. willingness to communicate (wtc) proposed as initiating to communicate while given a choice has recently played a crucial role in l2 learning. it was hypothesized that wtc would be associated with language learning orientations (llos) as well as social suppo...
Statistical models for natural sounds
It is important to understand the rich structure of natural sounds in order to solve important tasks, like automatic speech recognition, and to understand auditory processing in the brain. This thesis takes a step in this direction by characterising the statistics of simple natural sounds. We focus on the statistics because perception often appears to depend on them, rather than on the raw wave...
