Statistical learning leads to persistent memory: Evidence for one-year consolidation

Abstract Statistical learning is a robust mechanism of the brain that enables the extraction of environmental patterns, which is crucial in perceptual and cognitive domains. However, the dynamical change of processes underlying long-term statistical memory formation has not been tested in an appropr...
