摘要：A number of studies have demonstrated that healthy infants and adults can segment words fromrunning speech using statistical learning mechanisms (Rebuschat & Williams, 2012). However, littleis known about the functionality of word segmentation in aphasia. Recent research suggests thatpeople with aphasia preserve some ability to leam novel words (Tuomiranta et al, 2011) but theinitial language learning mechanisms such as word segmentation are still to be addressed. Weexplored the ability of individuals with chronic aphasia to segment words from running speech viastatistical learning.
