{ "pk": 28204, "title": "Tuning in to non-adjacent dependencies: How experience with learnable patterns supports learning novel regularities", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "Non-adjacent dependencies are ubiquitous in language, butdifficult to learn. Previous research has shown that the presenceof high variability between dependent items facilitateslearning. Yet what allows learning of non-adjacentdependencies even without high variability in interveningelements? One possibility is that learning non-adjacentdependencies highlights similar structures, allowing people tolearn new non-adjacent dependencies that are otherwisedifficult. In two studies, we show how being exposed tolearnable non-adjacent dependencies can change learners’sensitivity to novel non-adjacent regularities that are moredifficult to detect. These findings demonstrate a new way inwhich learning can build on and shape later learning aboutcomplex linguistic structure.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "non-adjacent dependency" }, { "word": "Language Learning" }, { "word": "grammar" }, { "word": "Artificial language learning" } ], "section": "Publication-based-Talks", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/79n6b8d3", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Martin", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Zettersten", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of Wisconsin - Madison", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Christine", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Potter", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Princeton", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Jenny", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Saffran", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of Wisconsin - Madison", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "2018-01-01T10:00:00-08:00", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/28204/galley/17863/download/" } ] }
