In the field of education, the think-aloud protocol is commonly used to encourage learners to articulate their thoughts during the learning process, providing observers with valuable insights into learners' cognitive processes beyond the final learning outcomes. However, the implementation of think-aloud protocols faces challenges such as task…

Animal studies suggest that time delay between acquisition and retrieval of contextual anxiety increases generalization. Moreover, such generalization is prevented by preexposure to the context (CTX), presumably due to an improved representation of such context. We investigated whether preexposure and time-passing modulate generalization of…

Emerging phonotactic knowledge facilitates the development of the mental lexicon, as demonstrated by studies showing that infants use the phonotactic patterns of their native language to extract words from continuous speech. The present study provides a computational account of how infants might induce phonotactics from their immediate language…
