Document Summary
Following an abb pattern (do la la, ga ka ka, bu ki ki) 8 month olds track statistics; to figure out where one word ends and one begins. Test how long they listen to words from familiarization vs. non words (rearranging the syllables order but using. Familiarization period: 8 month olds listen to 2 minutes of continuous speech stream (no prosodic information); 1. using prosodic cues like adults (intonation, pitch, duration, articulation (pronunciation), emphasis: can they use statistical probability of one sound and another to figure out word boundaries. Hello baby, are you a sweet little baby? (note that (cid:271)a(cid:271)(cid:455) is likel(cid:455) to (cid:271)e o(cid:374)e (cid:449)ord si(cid:374)(cid:272)e (cid:862)(cid:271)a(cid:863) (cid:449)ill (cid:271)e follo(cid:449)ed (cid:271)(cid:455) (cid:862)(cid:271)(cid:455)(cid:863) Will not form a probability between tle from little and ba from baby. Crossing a word boundary should be lower probability than within a word (sound a followed. 3. can babies use grammatical rules and syntax (word order): determiner+noun+verb+determiner+noun.
