Document Summary
The input is rich enough to pick up on regularities (e. g. , tps) Extract statistics and use this info to make an implicit decision about the presented materials. Sensitivity to this type of info develops early. Important for learning words, native language speech sounds, and understanding scenes. Nor does it address how infants may have intuitions about future events that depend on probabilistic reasoning. Expectations in the absence of experiencing past outcomes. Materials: movies with three identical objects and 1diffin color and shape, bouncing randomly inside a container with an open pipe at its base, as in a lottery game. Infants do not need to experience outcome frequency to respond to probabilities. Could this relate to perceptual preferences for a certain outcome? (e. g. if 1/4 objects is yellow, yellow may be more interesting) Procedure: variant of the violation of expectation paradigm.
