“…Either way, the differences in results would be of significant theoretical importance. We have exhaustively documented all such methodological decisiones in individual preprints for each experiment, allowing the reader to judge for themselves and design follow-up experiments if needed (Garcia, Iozzo, et al, 2017;Garcia, van Horne, & Hartshorne, 2017;Hartshorne & Skorb, 2018;Iozzo et al, 2017;Mu et al, 2017;Murdock et al, 2017a,b). Note that our materials, data, and code are available as well (see preprints for details).…”

“…Similarly, the original enforced a five minute break between training segments, whereas ours was self-paced. An exhaustive comparison of the methods in the three replications and the original can be found in the preprints (Garcia, Iozzo, et al, 2017;Garcia, van Horne, & Hartshorne, 2017;Hartshorne & Skorb, 2018;Iozzo et al, 2017;Mu et al, 2017;Murdock et al, 2017a,b).…”

We report the first set of results in a multi-year project to replicate every adult statistical word segmentation study. We reported replications of six experiments. The purpose of these replications is both to assess the strength of the findings in the statistical learning literature but also to provide more accurate effect size estimates. In every instance, we were able to replicate successful learning. However, many theoretically important modulations of that learning failedto replicate. Moreover, learning success was generally much lower than in the original studies. In the General Discussion, we consider whether these differences are due to differences in subject populations, low power in the original studies, or some other factor. Regardless, these initial results suggest taking caution in relying on the originally reported findings.
