TALK. Haskins Seminar Series "Statistical learning and chunking shape spoken language and reading across development" SPEAKER. Erin S. Isbilen PhD, Yale University ABSTRACT. How do individuals acquire language in the face of its perceptual challenges? In this talk, I argue for the contribution of chunking—a basic memory process—to the statistical learning of language across the lifespan. My research illustrates how statistical learning and chunking work together to enable the acquisition of a variety of linguistic structures, and how proficiency in statistically-facilitated chunking predicts individual differences in speech processing. Such computations further extend to the learning of written regularities in both children and adults and even predict performance on established measures of reading. Together, these studies highlight the fundamental contribution of basic, domain-general computations to sophisticated linguistic abilities across modalities and development—both in the lab and in the real world. SPEAKER BIO. Erin is a NIH K99 postdoctoral research associate in the Child Study Center at Yale. Her research focuses on the acquisition of spoken and written language in children and adults, with a focus on statistical learning and memory. Erin was formerly an NRSA postdoctoral research fellow at Haskins Laboratories working with Dick Aslin, and she completed her Ph.D. at Cornell University in the lab of Morten Christiansen, which was funded by the NSF GRFP. In 2023, Erin was awarded the Cognitive Science Society's Glushko Dissertation Prize for her Ph.D. research. FUTURE TALKS & HAPPY HOUR.

Peer Support Drop-In Hours are a great option for students who have questions about sex and sexual health, are looking for a non-judgmental, laid-back environment to discuss a sex related concern or issue, or are interested in improving their sexual health and personal well-being. Our UConn Sexperts are trained to provide education, support, and connection to resources on and off-campus on a wide variety of topics pertaining to sex, sexual health, and relationships. Mondays: 11:00am-4:00pm Tuesdays: 3:00pm-6:30pm Wednesdays: 10:30am-6:30pm Thursdays: 3:30pm-6:30pm Fridays: 10:30am-5:00pm UConn Sexperts (and supervising staff) are designated confidential employees under UConn's Title IX Reporting Obligations. Peer support sessions are for educational and support purposes only. Peer support visits are not on-call or emergency services, and are not for individualized medical advice, nor are they counseling or therapy.
