{ "pk": 25606, "title": "Constraints on Learning Non-Adjacent Dependencies (NADs) of Visual Stimuli", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "Non-adjacent dependencies (NADs) refer to dependencies\nbetween items that are not adjacent in a sequence. Peña et al.\n(2002) discovered adult participants could learn the NADs of\nsyllables in an artificial language when there were 25ms\npauses before and after the NADs. Studies using videos of\nhuman body movements showed similar learning outcomes\n(Endress & Wood, 2011). However, participants failed to\nlearn the NADs with respect to non-linguistic acoustic\nstimuli, such as tones or noises (Gebhart, Newport, & Aslin,\n2009). Four experiments in this study examined the\nconstraints on learning the NADs of visual stimuli. We\npropose that acquisition of the NADs requires the sequences\nbe packed into a coherent unit, and the motor system provides\nthe require packaging for stimuli that can be mapped onto\nmotor representation. Implications on the acquisition of\nsyllable NADs are discussed.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "statistical learning; Non-Adjacent Dependencies\n(NADs); sequence learning; visual stimuli" } ], "section": "Papers", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1b75k23m", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Jia", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Li", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of Southern California", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Toben", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Mintz", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of Southern California", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "2015-01-01T18:00:00Z", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/25606/galley/15230/download/" } ] }
