"This volume brings together contributors from cognitive psychology, theoretical and applied linguistics, as well as computer science, in order to assess the progress and future directions of statistical learning research."--Back cover.
The series beginning here will address theoretical issues and empirical research on second and foreign language education, focusing on innovative curricular and teaching practices and less commonly taught languages. In this volume, scholars of psychology explore the ability of infants to make use of statistical information in the environment to bootstrap language acquisition. Among the topics are statistical-sequential learning in development, linguistic constraints on statistical learning in early language acquisition, the potential contribution of statistical learning to second language learning, conscious versus unconscious learning of structure, and the cross-domain application of a cognitive model of musical learning.

This volume brings together contributors from cognitive psychology, theoretical and applied linguistics, as well as computer science, in order to assess the progress made in statistical learning research and to determine future directions. An important objective is to critically examine the role of statistical learning in language acquisition. While most contributors agree that statistical learning plays a central role in language acquisition, they have differing views. This book will promote the development of the field by fostering discussion and collaborations across disciplinary boundaries.
Studies in Second and Foreign Language Education presents research on critical theoretical issues and empirical research which shape second and foreign language education. It provides a platform for the discussion of innovative and progressive curricular and teaching practice. The series includes work on:
- Theories and applications of innovative approaches to language acquisition/education
- Instructional methodologies
- Curriculum development
- Teacher education
- Language planning and evaluation
- Autonomous learning contexts
- Teaching/learning of less commonly taught languages
SSFLE will be of interest to second and foreign language researchers and teachers, curriculum and materials developers, and language policy planners.
