Study on sequence learning

I am so happy that after four years of work, Jessie Nixon, Michael Ramscar, and I got a paper published that investigates the word learning by comparing two different learning mechanisms — statistical learning and discriminative learning — that are considered to be responsible for the learning of hunks in a sequence.

In the paper, we inspect which learning mechanism explains best the learning of chunks in sequences. We test two cases: 1. a pseudo-random sequence and 2. a sequence governed by a finite-state grammar similar to suffixation.
