What in the World Makes Recursion so Easy to Learn? A Statistical Account of the Staged Input Effect on Learning a Center-Embedded Structure in Artificial Grammar Learning (AGL)

What in the World Makes Recursion so Easy to Learn? A Statistical Account of the Staged Input Effect on Learning a Center-Embedded Structure in Artificial Grammar Learning (AGL)

In an artificial grammar learning study, Lai & Poletiek (2011) found that human participants could learn a center-embedded recursive grammar only if the input during training was presented in a staged fashion. Previous studies on artificial grammar learning, with randomly ordered input, failed t...
