    "title": "The Developmental Trajectory of Children's Statistical Learning Abilities",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Infants, children and adults are capable of implicitly\nextracting regularities from their environment through\nstatistical learning (SL). SL is present from early infancy and\nfound across tasks and modalities, raising questions about the\ndomain generality of SL. However, little is known about its’\ndevelopmental trajectory: Is SL fully developed capacity in\ninfancy, or does it improve with age, like other cognitive\nskills? While SL is well established in infants and adults, only\nfew studies have looked at SL across development with\nconflicting results: some find age-related improvements while\nothers do not. Importantly, despite its postulated role in\nlanguage learning, no study has examined the developmental\ntrajectory of auditory SL throughout childhood. Here, we\nconduct a large-scale study of children's auditory SL across a\nwide age-range (5-12y, N=115). Results show that auditory\nSL does not change much across development. We discuss\nimplications for modality-based differences in SL and for its\nrole in language acquisition.",
