The Developing Infant Creates a Curriculum for Statistical Learning
Open accessAbstract
New efforts are using head-cameras and eye-trackers worn by infants to capture everyday visual environments from the infant learner’s point of view. From this vantage point, the training sets for statistical learning develop as the infant’s sensory-motor abilities develop, yielding a series of ordered data sets for visual learning that differ in content and structure between time points but are highly selective at each time point. These changing environments may constitute a developmentally ordered curriculum that optimizes learning across many domains. Future advances in computational models are needed to connect the developmentally changing content and statistics of infant experience to the internal machinery that does the learning.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
