🔬After training, we evaluate STELA on a phone discrimination and a word recognition task.
📊 We find the model replicates the *gradual* and *simultaneous* learning patters found in infants, suggesting statistical learning can alone bootstrap early language patterns.

🤖 Here, we isolate statistical learning by developing STELA, a computational model that learns by predicting the near future of speech utterances.
🗣️ STELA is trained on raw speech only, with gradually increasing quantities, equivalent to those an infant would hear.

👶 We know that infants learn multiple aspects of language - like distinguishing native sounds and recognising words - *gradually* and *simultaneously*.
Yet, it is still difficult to pinpoint which mechanisms are responsible for which aspect of language development.
