Fifth replication of Saffran, Newport, & Aslin (1996) Exp. 1

We replicated Exp. 1 of Saffran, Newport, & Aslin (1996) Word segmentation: The role of distributional cues, Journal of Memory and Language, 35, 606-621. This is the fifth replication of this experiment as part of a larger project investigating the reproducibility and replicability of adult statistical word segmentation studies. It differs from prior replications in using a different study pool (Prolific.ac vs. Amazon Mechanical Turk). However, the results were similar to other replications: we replicated the existence of statistical word segmentation, but did not replicate many of the observed moderators.
