  1. The Role of Feedback in the Statistical Learning of Language‐Like Regularities.Felicity F. Frinsel, Fabio Trecca & Morten H. Christiansen - 2024 - Cognitive Science 48 (3):e13419.
    In language learning, learners engage with their environment, incorporating cues from different sources. However, in lab‐based experiments, using artificial languages, many of the cues and features that are part of real‐world language learning are stripped away. In three experiments, we investigated the role of positive, negative, and mixed feedback on the gradual learning of language‐like statistical regularities within an active guessing game paradigm. In Experiment 1, participants received deterministic feedback (100%), whereas probabilistic feedback (i.e., 75% or 50%) was introduced in (...)

  • Cross‐situational Learning From Ambiguous Egocentric Input Is a Continuous Process: Evidence Using the Human Simulation Paradigm.Yayun Zhang, Daniel Yurovsky & Chen Yu - 2021 - Cognitive Science 45 (7):e13010.
    Recent laboratory experiments have shown that both infant and adult learners can acquire word‐referent mappings using cross‐situational statistics. The vast majority of the work on this topic has used unfamiliar objects presented on neutral backgrounds as the visual contexts for word learning. However, these laboratory contexts are much different than the real‐world contexts in which learning occurs. Thus, the feasibility of generalizing cross‐situational learning beyond the laboratory is in question. Adapting the Human Simulation Paradigm, we conducted a series of experiments (...)

  • Gavagai Is as Gavagai Does: Learning Nouns and Verbs From Cross‐Situational Statistics.Padraic Monaghan, Karen Mattock, Robert A. I. Davies & Alastair C. Smith - 2015 - Cognitive Science 39 (5):1099-1112.
    Learning to map words onto their referents is difficult, because there are multiple possibilities for forming these mappings. Cross-situational learning studies have shown that word-object mappings can be learned across multiple situations, as can verbs when presented in a syntactic context. However, these previous studies have presented either nouns or verbs in ambiguous contexts and thus bypass much of the complexity of multiple grammatical categories in speech. We show that noun word learning in adults is robust when objects are moving, (...)
