Claimed failure to replicate a 1999 infant rule-learning study
A user says a 1999 Science paper arguing that infants can learn rules but RNNs cannot has faced a failed replication attempt. The user also points out that the original study tested 16 infants.
TLDR
A user claims a failure to replicate Marcus et al. (1999), a Science paper they describe as arguing that infants can learn rules but recurrent neural networks cannot. They say the paper has almost 2,000 citations and tested 16 infants, and question whether developmental psychology journals still accept studies with so few subjects.
