Adult Regularization of Inconsistent Input Depends on Pragmatic Factors.

The article analyzes a linguistic context on the possibility that adults probability match due to two pragmatic assumptions they bring to the learning problem. It focuses on the possibilities that adults probability match because they assume that the variation they see is predictable instead of rand...
