Comparing Statistical Learning across Perceptual Modalities in Infancy: An Investigation of Underlying Learning Mechanism(s)
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Emberson, Lauren L.; Misyak, Jennifer B.; Schwade, Jennifer A.; Christiansen, Morten H.; Goldstein, Michael H. – Developmental Science, 2019
Statistical learning (SL), sensitivity to probabilistic regularities in sensory input, has been widely implicated in cognitive and perceptual development. Little is known, however, about the underlying mechanisms of SL and whether they undergo developmental change. One way to approach these questions is to compare SL across perceptual modalities.…

Intermodal Learning in Infancy: Learning on the Basis of Two Kinds of Invariant Relations in Audible and Visible Events.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bahrick, Lorraine E. – Child Development, 1988
Examines the development of intermodal perception in infancy by means of a new method, the intermodal learning method. Results support the claim that only subjects who had been familiarized with appropriate and synchronous film and soundtrack pairs showed evidence of intermodal learning. (Author/RWB)

Sensitization during Visual Habituation Sequences: Procedural Effects and Individual Differences.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Colombo, John; Frick, Janet E.; Gorman, Sheila A. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1997
Examined possibility that arousability as manifested in sensitization contributes to individual differences in infants' attentional profiles. Sensitization tended to occur more frequently with more complex than with less complex checkerboards. Infants showing sensitization looked longer and did not habituate as readily as infants who showed no…

Generalization of Learning in Three-and-a-Half-Month-Old Infants on the Basis of Amodal Relations.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bahrick, Lorraine E. – Child Development, 2002
Investigated the extent to which 3.5-month-old infants trained in amodal auditory-visual relations between falling objects and the sounds they made could generalize their intermodal knowledge to a new task and across events. Found that infants tested with familiar events and with events of a new color or shape showed learning and transfer…

You Go This Way and I'll Go That Way: Developmental Changes in Infants' Detection of Correlations among Static and Dynamic Features in Motion Events.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Rakison, David H.; Poulin-Dubois, Diane – Child Development, 2002
Four studies examined 10- to 18-month-old infants' ability to detect and encode correlations among features in a motion event. Findings indicated that the youngest infants process static features in an event independently but do not process correlations among dynamic features; the oldest detect correlations between all three features when the…

The Origins of Joint Visual Attention in Infants.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Corkum, Valerie; Moore, Chris – Developmental Psychology, 1998
Two experiments examined the origins of joint visual attention in 6- to 11-month-olds with a training procedure. Results indicated that joint visual attention does not reliably appear prior to 10 months; from about 8 months, a gaze-following response can be learned; and simple learning is not sufficient as the mechanism through which joint…

Habituation, Response to Novelty, and Dishabituation in Human Infants: Tests of a Dual-Process Theory of Visual Attention.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kaplan, Peter S.; Werner, John S. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1986
Tests infants' dual-process performance (a process mediating response decrements called habituation and a state-dependent process mediating response increments called sensitization) on visual habituation-dishabituation tasks. (HOD)
