Musical Learning and Language Development

Abstract: How do infant learners acquire structure, given complex environ‐ments? In this chapter, we consider the role played by statistical learning—tracking patterns in the environment—in the acquisition of language and music. The results from a series of experiments suggest that similar learning mechanisms may operate in both domains, but that these mechanisms are also influenced by domain‐specific perceptual biases and input structure.
