Stephen Man-Kit Lee; Nicole Sin Hang Law; Shelley Xiuli Tong – Cognitive Science, 2024
Statistical learning enables humans to involuntarily process and utilize different kinds of patterns from the environment. However, the cognitive mechanisms underlying the simultaneous acquisition of multiple regularities from different perceptual modalities remain unclear. A novel multidimensional serial reaction time task was developed to test…

Wang, Felix Hao; Kaiser, Elsi – Language Learning, 2022
Although syntactic priming has been well studied and is commonly assumed to involve implicit learning, the mechanisms behind this phenomenon are still under debate. Recent studies have suggested that exposure to nonlinguistic statistical patterns may influence language users' relative clause attachment biases, but whether the priming effect comes…

West, Gillian; Melby-Lervåg, Monica; Hulme, Charles – Developmental Psychology, 2021
Impaired procedural learning has been suggested as a possible cause of developmental dyslexia (DD) and developmental language disorder (DLD). We evaluate this theory by performing a series of meta-analyses on evidence from the six procedural learning tasks that have most commonly been used to test this theory: the serial reaction time, Hebb…

Lindsey, Dakota R. B.; Logan, Gordon D. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
Associations are formed among the items in a sequence over the course of learning, but these item-to-item associations are not sufficient to reproduce the order of the sequence (Lashley, 1951). Contemporary theories of serial order tend to omit these associations entirely. The current paper investigates whether item-to-item associations play a…

Lammertink, Imme; Boersma, Paul; Wijnen, Frank; Rispens, Judith – Language Learning and Development, 2020
Children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) have difficulties acquiring the grammatical rules of their native language. It has been proposed that children's detection of sequential statistical patterns correlates with grammatical proficiency and hence that a deficit in the detection of these regularities may underlie the difficulties with…

Protopapas, Athanassios; Katopodi, Katerina; Altani, Angeliki; Georgiou, George K. – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2018
Word list reading fluency is theoretically expected to depend on single word reading speed. Yet the correlation between the two diminishes with increasing fluency, while fluency remains strongly correlated to serial digit naming. We hypothesized that multi-element sequence processing is an important component of fluency. We used confirmatory…
