Language as shaped by the brain. (2008, methodology): “…Peña et al. 2002); acquiring gender-like morphological systems (Brooks et al. 1993; Frigo & McDonald 1998); locating syntactic phrase boundaries (Saffran 2001; 2002); using function words to delineate phrases (Green 1979); integrating prosodic and morphological cues in the learning of phrase…”
Updated MINDS Report on Speech Recognition and Understanding, Part 2 (2009, background): “The new road maps for the semiconductor industry reflect this trend, and future speed increases will come more from parallelism than from having faster individual computing elements.”
Reading acquisition, developmental dyslexia, and skilled reading across languages: a psycholinguistic grain size theory. (2005, background): “Whereas the latter appears to rely on “chunking” of the speech stream according to transitional and phonotactic probabilities (Saffran, 2001; Saffran et al., 1997), the former may require the inspection of memory traces for discrete representations and the projection of generalizations that go beyon”
Discovering linguistic structures in speech: models and applications (2014, background): “As pointed out in [96, 124, 88, 160, 159, 64], success in some sub-problems of the language acquisition procedure relies on infants’ sensitivity to the distributional patterns of sounds in a language.”
Phonetic learning as a pathway to language: new data and native language magnet theory expanded (NLM-e) (2008, background): “Young infants learn ‘statistically’ (Saffran 2002) at many levels, including phonetic (Kuhl et al.”
