Explicit instructions do not enhance auditory statistical learning in children ...
Soares, Ana Paula ; Gutiérrez-Domínguez, Francisco-Javier; Oliveira, Helena M. ; Lages, Alexandrina ; Guerra, Natália ; Pereira, Ana Rita ; Tomé, DavidA current issue in psycholinguistic research is whether the language difficulties exhibited by children with developmental language disorder [DLD, previously labeled specific language impairment (SLI)] are due to deficits in their abilities to pick up patterns in the sensory environment, an ability known as statistical learning (SL), and the extent to which explicit learning mechanisms can be used to compensate...
Neurodevelopmental correlates of implicit-explicit learning mechanisms in child...
Soares, Ana Paula; Gutiérrez-Domínguez, Francisco-Javier; Vasconcelos, Margarida; Oliveira, Helena M.; Tomé, David; Lousada, Marisa; Jiménez, LuisThis project has the grant POCI-01-0145-FEDER-028212, started in June of 2019 ending in May of 2022, with researchers from ESS | P. PORTO, University of Minho and University of Aveiro. Aims to analyze the neurocognitive correlates of implicit-explicit learning mechanisms in preschool specific-learning impairment (SLI) children and to track their developmental trajectories until they enter primary school.

Soares, Ana Paula; Gutiérrez-Domínguez, Francisco-Javier; Vasconcelos, Margarida Fátima Gomes; Oliveira, Helena M.; Tomé, David; Jiménez, LuisStatistical learning (SL), the process of extracting regularities from the environment, is a fundamental skill of our cognitive system to structure the world regularly and predictably. SL has been studied using mainly behavioral tasks under implicit conditions and with triplets presenting the same level of difficulty, i.e., a mean transitional probability (TP) of 1.00. Yet, the neural mechanisms underlying SL u...
