  • Tracking Visual Statistical Learning with Steady-State Visual Evoked Potentials

    Open AccessNataşa Ganea, Dominik Garber et al.ARTICLEOpen MIND2026

    This study examined visual statistical learning using EEG-based steady-state visual evoked potentials (SSVEP). Fifty-one adults were exposed to image sequences organized into triplets across three conditions (n = 17 per condition) in which the alignment of category-level and exemplar-level information was manipulated. Neural entrainment at the triplet frequency (1.11 Hz) differed significantly across conditions (ηp2 = .13), with stronger response…

  • Limits on Composition of Conceptual Operations in 9‐Month‐Olds

    Open AccessSteven T Piantadosi, Holly Palmeri et al.ARTICLEInfancy2018

    Complex systems are often built from a relatively small set of basic features or operations that can be combined in myriad ways. We investigated the developmental origins of this compositional architecture in 9‐month‐old infants, extending recent work that demonstrated rudimentary compositional abilities in preschoolers. Infants viewed two separate object‐occlusion events that depicted a single‐feature‐change operation. They were then tested with…

  • How Visual is Visual Prediction

    Open AccessLauren Emberson, Ashley Rizzieri et al.ARTICLEInfancy2017

    Infants are readily able to use their recent experience to shape their future behavior. Recent work has confirmed that infants generate neural predictions based on their recent experience (Emberson, Richards, & Aslin, 2015) and that neural predictions trigger visual system activity similar to that elicited by visual stimulation. This study uses behavioral methods to ask, how visual is visual prediction? In Experiment 1, we confirmed that when add…

  • Infant Learning

    Open AccessRichard N Aslin, Richard Ν AslinARTICLEInfancy2014

    Acquiring knowledge about the underlying structures of the environment presents a number of challenges for a naive learner. These challenges include the absence of reinforcement to guide learning, the presence of numerous information sources from which only a select few are relevant, and the uncertainty about when an underlying structure may have undergone a change. A crucial implication of these challenges is that the naive learner must make imp…

  • Phonetic Category Learning and Its Influence on Speech Production

    Richard N Aslin, Richard Ν AslinARTICLEEcological Psychology2014

    One of the hallmarks of any flexible system of perception and motor control is the ability to adjust to changes induced by dialect, development, fatigue, disease, or aging. Phonetic categories are an essential component of language that enables listeners and speakers to communicate effectively. Four studies are reviewed that illustrate how adults and infants adjust their phonetic categories rapidly and efficiently to maintain a tight coupling bet…

  • Distributional Language Learning

    Open AccessRichard N Aslin, Richard Ν Aslin et al.ARTICLELanguage Learning2014Citada por: 5Referencias: 41

    In the past 15 years, a substantial body of evidence has confirmed that a powerful distributional learning mechanism is present in infants, children, adults and (at least to some degree) in nonhuman animals as well. The present article briefly reviews this literature and then examines some of the fundamental questions that must be addressed for any distributional learning mechanism to operate effectively within the linguistic domain. In particula…

  • The Goldilocks Effect

    Open AccessCeleste Kidd, Steven T Piantadosi et al.ARTICLEPLoS ONE2012

    Human infants, like immature members of any species, must be highly selective in sampling information from their environment to learn efficiently. Failure to be selective would waste precious computational resources on material that is already known (too simple) or unknowable (too complex). In two experiments with 7- and 8-month-olds, we measure infants' visual attention to sequences of events varying in complexity, as determined by an ideal lear…

  • Infant Eyes

    Open AccessRichard N Aslin, Richard Ν AslinARTICLEInfancy2012

    Eye‐trackers suitable for use with infants are now marketed by several commercial vendors. As eye‐trackers become more prevalent in infancy research, there is the potential for users to be unaware of dangers lurking “under the hood” if they assume the eye‐tracker introduces no errors in measuring infants’ gaze. Moreover, the influx of voluminous data sets from eye‐trackers requires users to think hard about what they are measuring and what these …

  • Perceptual Organization of Visual Structure Requires a Flexible Learning Mechanism

    Open AccessRichard N Aslin, Richard Ν AslinARTICLEInfancy2011

    Bhatt and Quinn (2011) provide a compelling and comprehensive review of empirical evidence that supports the operation of principles of perceptual organization in young infants. These principles, which are largely synonymous with the Gestalt laws of visual perception, raise a number of important, and as yet unanswered questions. Bhatt and Quinn tackle some of these questions and propose several mechanisms by which infants progress from a few prin…

  • The Weckud Wetch of the Wast

    Open AccessJessica Maye, Richard N Aslin et al.ARTICLECognitive Science2008

    Two experiments investigated the mechanism by which listeners adjust their interpretation of accented speech that is similar to a regional dialect of American English. Only a subset of the vowels of English (the front vowels) were shifted during adaptation, which consisted of listening to a 20‐min segment of the “Wizard of Oz.” Compared to a baseline (unadapted) condition, listeners showed significant adaptation to the accented speech, as indexed…

  • Statistical phonetic learning in infants

    Open AccessJessica Maye, Daniel J Weiss et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Science2008

    Over the course of the first year of life, infants develop from being generalized listeners, capable of discriminating both native and non‐native speech contrasts, into specialized listeners whose discrimination patterns closely reflect the phonetic system of the native language(s). Recent work by Maye, Werker and Gerken (2002 ) has proposed a statistical account for this phenomenon, showing that infants may lose the ability to discriminate some …

  • What's in a look?

    Open AccessRichard N Aslin, Richard Ν AslinARTICLEDevelopmental Science2007

    The most common behavioral technique used to study infant perception, cognition, language, and social development is some variant of looking time. Since its inception as a reliable method in the late 1950s, a tremendous increase in knowledge about infant competencies has been gained by inferences made from measures of looking time. Here we examine the logic, utility, and future prospects for further gains in our understanding of infant cognition …

  • Anticipatory Eye Movements Reveal Infants' Auditory and Visual Categories

    Open AccessBob Mcmurray, Richard N Aslin et al.ARTICLEInfancy2004

    We introduce a new paradigm for the assessment of auditory and visual categories in 6‐month‐old infants using a 2‐alternative anticipatory eye‐movement response. Infants were trained by 2 different methods to anticipate the location of a visual reinforcer at 1 of 2 spatial locations (right or left) based on the identity of 2 cuing stimuli. After a training phase, infants were presented with a series of generalization trials in which novel (untrai…

  • Automated Corneal‐Reflection Eye Tracking in Infancy

    Open AccessRichard N Aslin, Richard Ν Aslin et al.ARTICLEInfancy2004

    Since the mid‐1800s, experimental psychologists have been using eye movements and gaze direction to make inferences about perception and cognition in adults (Müller, 1826, cited in Boring, 1942). In the past 175 years, these oculomotor measures have been refined (see Kowler, 1990) and used to address similar questions in infants (see Aslin, 1985, 1987; Branson, 1982; Haith, 1980; Maurer, 1975). The general rationale for relying on these visual be…

  • Phonological neighbourhoods in the developing lexicon

    Open AccessJEFFRY A COADY, Richard N Aslin et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Language2003

    Structural analyses of developing lexicons have provided evidence for both children's holistic lexical representations and sensitivity to phonetic segments. In the present investigation, neighbourhood analyses of two children's (age 3;6) expressive lexicons, maternal input, and an adult lexicon were conducted. In addition to raw counts and frequency-weighted counts, neighbourhood size was calculated as the proportion of the lexicon to which each …
