Detailed explanation-1: -Infant statistical learning mechanisms facilitate the detection of structure. These abilities allow the infant to compute across elements in their environmental input, extracting patterns for further processing and subsequent learning.
Detailed explanation-2: -Statistical learning, the process of extracting regularities from the environment, plays an essential role in many aspects of cognition, including speech segmentation and language acquisition.
Detailed explanation-3: -Conditional statistics – such as transitional probability (e.g., Saffran et al., 1996) – reflect the likelihood of co-occurrence among elements of the input. A body of prior research indicates that both infants and adults are able to segment words from fluent speech on the basis of conditional statistical information.
