As trials go by: Effects of 2-AFC item repetition on statistical learning perfo...
Soares, Ana Paula; Franca, Tiago; Gutierrez-Dominguez, Francisco-Javier; Sousa, Ines; Oliveira, Helena MendesOne of the most popular tasks used to test statistical learning (SL) involves asking participants to identify which of two stimuli, a triplet presented during the previous familiarization phase versus a new sequence made of the same stimuli never presented together, is more familiar based on the stream presented before, that is, to perform a two-alternative forced-choice (2-AFC) task. Despite the widespread use...
Explicit instructions do not enhance auditory statistical learning in children ...
Soares, Ana Paula; Gutierrez-Dominguez, Francisco-Javier; Oliveira, Helena Mendes; Lages, Alexandrina; Guerra, Natália; Pereira, Ana Rita; Tome, 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...
Learning words while listening to syllables: electrophysiological correlates of...
Soares, Ana Paula; Gutierrez-Dominguez, Francisco-Javier; Lages, Alexandrina; Oliveira, Helena Mendes; Vasconcelos, Margarida; Jimenez, LuisFrom an early age, exposure to a spoken language has allowed us to implicitly capture the structure underlying the succession of speech sounds in that language and to segment it into meaningful units (words). Statistical learning (SL), the ability to pick up patterns in the sensory environment without intention or reinforcement, is thus assumed to play a central role in the acquisition of the rule-governed aspe...
