An investigation of similarity neighborhoods in lexical acquisition (2004, methodology): “Previous studies indicate that adult self-ratings are a valid and reliable measure of lexical development (e.g., Carroll & White, 1973a, 1973b; Gilhooly & Gilhooly, 1980; Gilhooly & Logie, 1980; Jorm, 1991; Winters, Winter, & Burger, 1978).”
A Web-based interface to calculate phonotactic probability for words and nonwords in English (2004, background): “Although some have argued that using adult-directed corpora in research with children is inappropriate, Jusczyk et al. (1994) demonstrated that the phonotactic probabilities of the specially constructed nonwords they employed in their study of 9- month-old infants remained relatively unchanged when…”
The Infant's Auditory World: Hearing, Speech, and the Beginnings of Language (2007, background): “For example, infants represent the frequencies of phonotactic patterns in their native language (Jusczyk et al., 1994; Mattys, Jusczyk, Luce, & Morgan, 1999).”
Language discrimination by newborns: Teasing apart phonotactic, rhythmic, and intonational cues (2002, unknown): “The fact that they do not suggests that sensitivity to phonotactic differences is not available at birth; this is also consistent with evidence that familiarity with the native language’s phonotactic pattern emerges between 6 and 9 months of age (Jusczyk, Cutler, & Redanz, 1993; Friederici & Wessels”
Early segmentation of fluent speech by infants acquiring French: Emerging evidence for crosslinguistic differences (2006, unknown): “Several studies have established that young Englishlearning infants are sensitive to prosodic (Jusczyk, Cutler, & Redanz, 1993; Turk, Jusczyk, & Gerken, 1995), allophonic (Hohne & Jusczyk, 1994), and phonotactic (Jusczyk, Friederici, Wessels, Svenkerud, & Jusczyk, 1993; Jusczyk, Luce, & Charles-Luc”
Spoken vocabulary growth: Its role in the development of phoneme awareness and early reading ability (2003, background): “Sometime between six and nine months of age, infants do begin to display sensitivity to the phonotactic patterns, or sequential arrangement of phonetic segments, of their native language (e.g., Jusczyk, Luce & Charles-Luce, 1994 ).”
Recognition of Amodal Language Identity Emerges in Infancy (2013, background): “It gradually enables infants to discover nativelanguage segmental, suprasegmental, and lexical features (Johnson & Jusczyk, 2001; Jusczyk et al., 1993, 1994; Saffran et al., 1996; Swingley, 2005; Vihman et al., 2004) and gradually leads to an improvement in multisensory perceptual skills…”

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. 1992; Maye et al. 2002, in press), phonotactic ( Jusczyk et al. 1993, 1994), lexical (Goodsitt et al. 1993; Saffran et al. 1996) and syntactic (Gomez & Gerken 1999, 2000; Marcus et al. 1999; Peñ a et…”
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.”
Phonological specificity in early words (2002, background): “We conclude that if there is any tendency for words to have more or less detailed representations depending on the number of similar words from which they must be distinguished (e.g., Jusczyk, Luce, & Charles-Luce, 1993 ), this tendency is not prominent over the range of vocabulary development occu”
