Subject: Individual Differences in Statistical Learning: Measurement, Theory, and Validity

Supervisor: Prof. Ram Frost

Abstract: I study statistical learning ability, the human capacity to extract patterns and regularities from the sensory input. This ability plays a key role in a variety of human capacities, and specifically in the ability to master a language. In my Ph.D. dissertation I focus on individual-differences in statistical learning ability, and their relation to linguistic performance.
