Research question Can infants learn abstract repition rules from different types of stimuli?
Inclusion and exclusion criteria Inclusion: (1) Participants were typically developing infants under 24 months of age, (2) participants were exposed to strings of three stimuli generated from a single repetition pattern (e.g. AAB, ABB), and (3) participants were tested on their behavioural response to new stringsgenerated from either the familiarized pattern (Familiar pattern trials)or a novel pattern (Novel pattern trials). Exclusion: (1) reports that used different paradigms or asked somewhat different questions, including neuroimaging studies, relational-match-to-sample studies, (3) studies that did not use repetition patterns, and (4) studies in which infants were exposed to two patterns
