    "abstract": "Achieving linguistic proficiency requires identifying words\nfrom speech, and discovering the constraints that govern the\nway those words are used. In a recent study of non-adjacent\ndependency learning, Frost and Monaghan (2016)\ndemonstrated that learners may perform these tasks together,\nusing similar statistical processes — contrary to prior\nsuggestions. However, in their study, non-adjacent\ndependencies were marked by phonological cues (plosive-\ncontinuant-plosive structure), which may have influenced\nlearning. Here, we test the necessity of these cues by\ncomparing learning across three conditions; fixed phonology,\nwhich contains these cues, varied phonology, which omits\nthem, and shapes, which uses visual shape sequences to\nassess the generality of statistical processing for these tasks.\nParticipants segmented the sequences and generalized the\nstructure in both auditory conditions, but learning was best\nwhen phonological cues were present. Learning was around\nchance on both tasks for the visual shapes group, indicating\nstatistical processing may critically differ across domains",
