Impaired Statistical Learning of Nonadjacent Dependencies in Adolescents with Specific Language Impairment

Being able to track dependencies between syntactic elements separated by other constituents is crucial for language acquisition and processing (e.g., in subject-noun/verb agreement). Although long assumed to require language-specific machinery, research on statistical learning has suggested that dom...
