    "title": "Quantifying Infants' Statistical Word Segmentation: A Meta-Analysis",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Theories of language acquisition and perceptual learning\nincreasingly rely on statistical learning mechanisms. The\ncurrent meta-analysis aims to clarify the robustness of this\ncapacity in infancy within the word segmentation literature.\nOur analysis reveals a significant, small effect size for\nconceptual replications of Saffran, Aslin, & Newport (1996),\nand a nonsignificant effect across all studies that incorporate\ntransitional probabilities to segment words. In both\nconceptual replications and the broader literature, however,\nstatistical learning is moderated by whether stimuli are\nnaturally produced or synthesized. These findings invite\ndeeper questions about the complex factors that influence\nstatistical learning, and the role of statistical learning in\nlanguage acquisition.",
