Cultural Transmission Promotes the Emergence of Statistical Properties That Support Language Learning.

We fitted the same model as for the shuffled baseline and found that the R 2 of the experimental sets was significantly higher than that of the rotated sets (β = 0.08, SE = 0.03, t = 2.57, p < .05), and that the R 2 increases more over generations in the experimental sets, compared to the rotated sets, indicated by a marginally significant interaction between dataset and generation (β = 0.02, SE = 0.00, t = 4.28, p = .05).
