Paper Abstract:
|
With the growing exposure to digital technology as a source of language input, it has become essential to gain a deeper
understanding of the mechanisms that support learning in this modern context. Statistical learning (SL) is a sensory
processing mechanism believed to play a significant role in various aspects of language acquisition. Differences in
children's language development are thought to partly stem from variances in their ability to extract statistical information
from the environment. The current study first aims to contribute new insights into the role of SL in language development
across different domains. Behavioural and electroencephalography (EEG) measures were collected from 32 typically
developing Norwegian preschoolers. Although the research is ongoing, the anticipated outcomes are expected to enhance
the understanding of the processes underlying children's language processing. This knowledge could subsequently inform
applied research, particularly in the development of digital educational tools and tailored interventions to better support
children's language acquisition in digital contexts. |
