Intact Statistical Word Learning in Autism Spectrum Disorders
… Spectrum Disorders (ASD) have impairments in language acquisition, but the underlying mechanism of these deficits is poorly understood. Implicit learning appears potentially relevant to language development, particularly in speech segmentation, which relies on sensitivity to the transitional …

Analytic bias in coocurrence restrictions
The representation, content and learning of phonotactic constraints has spurred a lot of recent research phonology. This work concerns the constraints involved in the representation of place-based coocurrence restrictions. A single OCP-[PLACE] constraint is argued to compete in in constraint …

Acquisition of syntax in a minature artificial language : effects of input and instruction
… the acquisition of syntax in adult learners. An artificial miniature language was used to model real second language to control precisely the type of input, conditions of exposure and instruction accompanying that input. Performance of learners under four input conditions was compared and …

The role of cognitive factors on the development and evolution of the vocabulary
… is structured. Recent approaches to studying language have been heavily influenced by the principle that languages are shaped to suit the general learning and processing biases of the learner (Christiansen & Chater, 2008). This view has gained considerable support from theoretical and …

Linguistic relativity: Loci and conditions of emergence
… the randomized-controlled training paradigm: Can language learning lead to linguistic relativity effects – the effect of the language(s) we speak on our cognition of non-verbal stimuli even without verbalization or preparation for verbalization using the relevant linguistic feature(s)? If yes, …

Child-adult differences in implicit and explicit second language learning
… a fundamental difference between adult and child language learning (Bley-Vroman, 1990; Johnson & Newport, 1989; DeKeyser, 2000; Paradis, 2004). This difference is often framed as a change from implicit language learning in childhood to explicit language learning in adulthood, which is presumably …
