Isbilen, Erin S.; McCauley, Stewart M.; Kidd, Evan; Christiansen, Morten H. – Cognitive Science, 2020
The computations involved in statistical learning have long been debated. Here, we build on work suggesting that a basic memory process, "chunking," may account for the processing of statistical regularities into larger units. Drawing on methods from the memory literature, we developed a novel paradigm to test statistical learning by…

Poletiek, Fenna H.; Conway, Christopher M.; Ellefson, Michelle R.; Lai, Jun; Bocanegra, Bruno R.; Christiansen, Morten H. – Cognitive Science, 2018
It has been suggested that external and/or internal limitations paradoxically may lead to superior learning, that is, the concepts of "starting small" and "less is more" (Elman, 1993; Newport, 1990). In this paper, we explore the type of incremental ordering during training that might help learning, and what mechanism explains…
