Recent findings demonstrate that habituation of capture is stronger where onset distractors are frequent and weaker where they are rare, thus showing that habituation to onsets has a spatial selective nature. However, a debated question is whether habituation at a specific location is exclusively determined by the distractors' local rate, or whethe...

Assigning stress to polysyllabic words is a crucial aspect of reading aloud in English. Previous research demonstrated that native English speakers are sensitive to word endings as probabilistic orthographic cues to stress assignment. However, little is known about if second language (L2) learners of English are sensitive to word endings as cues to...

According to Bayesian/predictive coding models of autism, autistic individuals may have difficulties learning probabilistic cue-outcome associations, but empirical evidence has been mixed. The target cues used in previous studies were often straightforward and might not reflect real-life learning of such associations which requires learners to infe...

Statistical learning across passive exposure has been theoretically situated with unsupervised learning. However, when input statistics accumulate over established representations - like speech syllables, for example - there is the possibility that prediction derived from activation of rich, existing representations may support error-driven learnin...

Ces dernières décennies, une multiplication des examens diagnostiques utilisant les rayonnements ionisants (RIs), comme les examens scanners, a été observée. Cependant, les effets sanitaires à long terme de ces expositions radiologiques sont peu connus. La cohorte Enfant Scanner a ainsi été mise en place en 2009 à l'IRSN afin d'étudier les risques ...

The human brain extracts statistical regularities from the surrounding environment in a process called statistical learning. Behavioural evidence suggests that developmental dyslexia affects statistical learning. However, surprisingly few studies have assessed how developmental dyslexia affects the neural processing underlying this type of learning...

It is well established that decay and interference are the two main causes of forgetting. In the present study, we specifically focus on the impact of interference on memory forgetting. To do so, we tested Guinea baboons (Papio papio) on a visuo-motor adaptation of the Serial Reaction Time task in which a target sequence is repeated, and a random s...
