The main objective of this Direct Doctorate project is to investigate the role of statistical cues in language acquisition and the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying this process. The first steps towards achieving this objective were carried out throughout the Master's degree (FAPESP 2021/13731-0), with the conduction of a control experiment with the artificial languages that will b…
Recent evidence shows that individuals detect regularities present in speech and the environment from a very early age, and they use them to overcome some challenges of the language acquisition process, such as speech segmentation and the mapping of words to their referents in the world. In a series of unprecedented experiments with adult Brazilian-Portuguese speakers, researchers investi…
Language development begins in the first months of life and it involves maturational and learning processes. Word segmentation and word mapping are some of the tasks involved in language acquisition. Word segmentation consists in the extraction of words from speech which is continuous in the natural environment. Word mapping refers to the assignment of words to referents. Recent studies s…
Infants and adults track statistical regularities from spoken language to find relevant word boundaries across continuous speech. This process can be measured with behavioral tasks, such as two alternative forced-choice and rating scales. However, behavioral tasks do not fully capture learning dynamics and specific cognitive processes of speech segmentation. Integrating non-invasive neuro…
There is now robust evidence that children and adults can track statistical regularities to extract words from speech. More recently, several studies integrated electrophysiological and behavioral measures to understand the neural mechanisms underlying this process. For her Master's work, this candidate aims to collect electroencephalogram and behavioral data during a speech segmentation …
