The infant motor system predicts actions based on visual statistical learning (2017)
Journal Article
Monroy, C. D., Meyer, M., Schröer, L., Gerson, S. A., & Hunnius, S. (2019). The infant motor system predicts actions based on visual statistical learning. NeuroImage, 185, 947-954. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2017.12.016
