This folder contains the data and experimental materials for studies conducted under WP4 of LuCiD.

Each folder contains details (data and materials where available) of one study.

The studies are as follows:
(* indicates not yet complete)

* Study 1 Anchor words adult study
Study with adults on whether intervening high-frequency function words can support segmentation of speech and contribute to categorisation of syntactic categories in language learning. This work was published as Frost et al. (2019). JEPLMC.

* Study 2 Anchor words child study
Study with infants testing whether intervening high-frequency function words supports segmentation and syntax learning. This work is not yet published in a journal.

* Study 3 Anchor words variability
Study with adults testing whether probabilistic function words can support segmentation of speech. This work is not yet published.


* Study 4 Computational modelling multiple cues
This reports a computational model of word-referent mapping that incorporates multiple cues. This work is published as Monaghan (2017). Topics in Cognitive Science.

* Study 5 Metaanalysis grammar learning
Meta-analysis of studies testing conditions of learning of different grammatical structures across species. This work is published as Trotter et al. (2019). Topics in Cognitive Science.

* Study 6 Multiple cues variability
Two studies with adults testing whether probabilistic multiple cues (including distributional information, prosody, and gesture) can support learning of word-referent mappings. This work is published as Monaghan et al. (2017). Cognitive Science Society conference proceedings.

* Study 7 Multiple cues variability infants
Study with infants testing whether probabilistic multiple cues (distributional, prosody, gesture) can support acquisition of word-referent mappings in 18 month old children. This work is not yet published, but presented at the Statistical learning conference, San Sebastian June 2019.


* Study 8 Segment and generalise effect of sleep
Study testing whether adults can segment and generalise structure of language at the same time from continuous artificial speech input. This builds on Frost & Monaghan (2016). Cognition, and tests whether sleep has a differential effect on segmentation and generalisation. This work is published in Frost & Monaghan (2017). PlosONE.

* Study 9 Segment and generalise simultaneously adults study
Study testing whether adults can segment and generalise structure of language at the same time from continuous artificial speech input. This work is published in Frost & Monaghan (2016). Cognition.

* Study 10 Statistical learning nouns and verbs
Study with adults testing how referents for nouns and verbs can be learned under different instruction conditions. This work is published in Monaghan et al. (2019) Topics in Cognitive Science.

* Study 11 Statistical learning complex syntax
Study with adults testing how referents for nouns, verbs, adjectives, and grammatical role marker words, and syntax, can be learned under different instruction conditions. This work has been submitted for publication to Cognition.
