Simultaneous Online Tracking of Adjacent and Non-adjacent Dependencies in Statistical Learning
When children learn their native language, they have to deal with a confusing array of dependencies between various elements in an utterance. Some of these dependencies may be adjacent to one another whereas others can be separated by considerable intervening material. Research on statistical learning has begun to explore how such adjacent and nonadjacent dependencies may be learned—but in sepa...
متن کاملActively Detecting Patterns in an Artificial Language to Learn Non-Adjacent Dependencies
Many grammatical dependencies in natural language involve elements that are not adjacent, such as between the subject and verb in ”the dog always barks”. We recently showed that non-adjacent dependencies are easily learnable without pauses in the signal when speech is presented rapidly. In this study, we used an online measure to look at the relationship between online parsing and the learning ...
متن کاملGleaning Structure from Sound: The Role of Prosodic Contrast in Learning Non-adjacent Dependencies
The ability to detect non-adjacent dependencies (i.e. between a and b in aXb) in spoken input may support the acquisition of morpho-syntactic dependencies (e.g. The princess is kiss ing the frog). Functional morphemes in morpho-syntactic dependencies are often marked by perceptual cues that render them distinct from lexical elements. We use an artificial grammar learning experiment with adults ...
متن کاملLearning Non-Adjacent Dependencies in Continuous Presentation of an Artificial Language
Many grammatical dependencies in natural language involve elements that are not adjacent, such as between the subject and verb in the child always runs. To date, most experiments showing evidence of learning nonadjacent dependencies have used artificial languages in which the to-be-learned dependencies are presented in isolation by presenting the minimal sequences that contain the dependent ele...
متن کاملLinguistic Priming and Learning Adjacent and Non-Adjacent Dependencies in Serial Reaction Time Tasks
Although syntactic priming is well studied and commonly assumed to involve implicit learning, the mechanisms behind this phenomenon are still under debate. We tested whether implicit learning of adjacent and non-adjacent sequences occurs in a non-linguistic, finger sequence task (Serial Reaction Time task), and if so, whether these implicitly-learned dependencies can cause syntactic priming in ...
