Foundations of Statistical Learning
Statistical learning refers to infants’ ability to detect and extract patterns and regularities from the complex, dynamic environments they encounter. Even before they can speak, infants are exposed to a barrage of sensory information— sounds, sights, and interactions. Their brains are equipped with mechanisms that allow them to make sense of this information by identifying statistical patterns, such as which sounds or visual cues tend to occur together.
In this enlightening one-hour program, participants will:
Understand statistical learning in infancy
Explore its role in concept and category development
Examine how early environments shape learning and behavior
Apply knowledge to mental health practice
