Learning non-adjacent rules and non-adjacent dependencies from human actions in 9-month-old infants.

Seven month old infants can learn simple repetition patterns, such as we-fo-we, and generalize the rules to sequences of new syllables, such as ga-ti-ga. However, repetition rule learning in visual sequences seems more challenging, leading some researchers to claim that this type of rule learning ap...
