Description

Seminar paper from the year 2019 in the subject Psychology - Developmental Psychology, grade: 1,0, University of Göttingen (Georg-Elias-Müller-Institut für Psychologie), course: B.Psy.1001 Wissenschaftliche Kompetenzen für die Psychologie, language: English, abstract: Can language impairments in autism be linked to deficits in statistical learning? Answering this question is of interest for multiple reasons: It may shed more light on the general mechanisms of language acquisition and development and illustrate how statistical learning contributes to the ability to communicate. Furthermore, understanding the underlying mechanisms of linguistic impairments associated with autism and other disorders is imperative in order to develop effective therapeutic methods and interventions to help those affected, preferably at an early stage in life.
