Learning at a distance I. Statistical learning of non-adjacent dependencies. (2004, background): “…is, from both the linguistic environment to which learners are exposed and some innate predispositions of human learners to process and learn temporally organized patterns in particular ways (see Chomsky, 1965; Gleitman & Newport, 1995; Marcus, 2001; Pinker, 1994; Seidenberg, 1997; for discussion).”
