	comments={Bonatti et al. (Psych Sci, 2007) showed that adult learners picked up on statistical properites of consonants but not vowels in an artificial language learning study. They claimed that this finding could not be explained by a general statistical learning mechanism. We showed that the asymmetry reflects properties of French, the native language of the subjects. (Their response was to abandon the original claim--that the effects were not due to any statistical property of French--in favor of the idea that UG is responsible for the observed statistical asymmetry.)},
