7 important questions on Learning Sound Patterns - Infant Statisticians
What do they mean with an artificial language?
What did the study of Saffraan et al. do with babies and artificial language?
In the familiarization phase of Saffraan et. al, how many times and how long did the babies hear each word?
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding

6. Statistical regularities
→ Categorization
→ Pattern recognition
