| summary | Over the past decade, a line of research on statistical learning using streams of speech showed that adults and infants can use distributional information to segment and group syllables into word-like units. This work will be briefly reviewed and then several key questions will be addressed. Is statistical learning language-specific, species-specific, and modality-specific ? Next, the computational limits of statistical learning will be reviewed along with a series of studies that begin to document the constraints on statistical learning that make it tractable. Finally, some preliminary results on brain correlates of statistical learning will be summarized, along with challenges for understanding how brain mechanisms might enable statistical learning in different domains. |
