Intuitive statistics by 8-month-old infants.
Human learners make inductive inferences based on small amounts of data: we generalize from samples to populations and vice versa. The academic discipline of statistics formalizes these intuitive statistical inferences. What is the origin of this ability? We report six experiments investigating whether 8-month-old infants are "intuitive statisticians." Our results showed that, given a sample, t...
متن کاملObject segregation in 8-month-old infants.
Two experiments examined 8-month-old infants' use of configural and physical knowledge in segregating three-dimensional adjacent displays. The infants in Experiment I saw two identical yellow octagons standing side by side: in the test events, a hand grasped the right octagon and pulled it to the side. The infants looked reliably longer when the octagons moved apart than when they moved togethe...

متن کاملLexical Neighborhood Effects in 17 - Month - Old Word Learning
How might infant’s existing vocabulary affect their ability to learn new words? Specifically, how does the density and token frequency of lexical neighbors in the speech surrounding a child affect that child's ability to learn new word-to-world mappings? The current paper presents a series of studies that demonstrate strong effects of lexical neighborhoods on 17-month-old infant’s abilities to ...
متن کاملFourteen-month-old infants use interpersonal synchrony as a cue to direct helpfulness.
Musical behaviours such as dancing, singing and music production, which require the ability to entrain to a rhythmic beat, encourage high levels of interpersonal coordination. Such coordination has been associated with increased group cohesion and social bonding between group members. Previously, we demonstrated that this association influences even the social behaviour of 14-month-old infants....
