Temporal dynamics of statistical learning in children's song contributes to phase entrainment and production of novel information in multiple cultures.

ABSTRACT: Statistical learning is thought to be linked to brain development. For example, statistical learning of language and music starts at an early age and is shown to play a significant role in acquiring the delta-band rhythm that is essential for language and music learning. However, it remains unclear how auditory cultural differences affect the statistical learning process and the resulting probabilistic and acoustic knowledge acquired through it. This study examined how children's songs are acquired through statistical learning. This study used a Hierarchical Bayesian statistical learning (HBSL) model, mimicking the statistical learning processes of the brain. Using this model, I conducted a simulation experiment to visualize the temporal dynamics of perception and production processes thro
