Visual Statistical Learning in Infancy: Evidence for a Domain General Learning Mechanism.
Kirkham, Natasha Z.; Slemmer, Jonathan A.; Johnson, Scott P.
Cognition, v83 n2 pB35-B42 Mar 2002
Habituated 2-, 5-, and 8-month-olds to visual stimuli following statistically predictable pattern, then showed the familiar pattern alternating with novel sequence of identical stimuli. Found significantly greater interest in novel sequence at all ages. Results support likelihood of domain general statistical learning in infancy and imply that mechanisms to detect environmental structure may play important role in cognitive development. (Author/KB)
