Warker, Jill A.; Dell, Gary S. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2015
Novel phonotactic constraints can be acquired by hearing or speaking syllables that follow a novel constraint. When learned from hearing syllables, these newly learned constraints generalize to syllables that were not experienced during training. However, generalization of phonotactic learning to novel syllables has never been persuasively…

Warker, Jill A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2013
Adults can rapidly learn artificial phonotactic constraints such as /"f"/ "occurs only at the beginning of syllables" by producing syllables that contain those constraints. This implicit learning is then reflected in their speech errors. However, second-order constraints in which the placement of a phoneme depends on another…
