🎉 The final MB3 manuscipt is OUT NOW in Developmental Science! 🎉 |
The highlights as published in the paper are: |
Our study provides a large-scale (30 labs; 839 participants; 650 included in the main analysis), cross-linguistic, conceptual replication of the seminal study of Marcus et al. (1999). |
A phonologically balanced and broadly interpretable set of stimuli was developed to assess the robustness of algebraic rule learning in infants from multiple language backgrounds. |
Results indicate evidence for a null effect of consistent versus inconsistent trials, showing no evidence for rule-learning. |
Robustness analyses indicated that our results are robust vis-á-vis a number of choices in pre-processing and analysis. |
