Explanation:

Statistical learning refers to the ability that humans and other living beings have to obtain statistical regularities from their environment, and learn from it.

Infants can learn statistical relationships among syllables, no matter how much they are exposed to language. This indicates that they identify the syllables that are compatible and the ones that are not, these belonging to 2 different units. This learning method represents one of the ways that children understand which set of syllables make up words.
