Two for the price of one: Concurrent learning of words and phonotactic regularities from continuous speech.

To acquire the words of their language, learners face the challenge of tracking regularities at multiple levels of abstraction from continuous speech. In the current study, we examined adults' ability to track two types of regularities from a continuous artificial speech stream: the individual...
