Chapter 5 endnote 19, from How Emotions are Made: The Secret Life of the Brain by Lisa Feldman Barrett.
Some context is:
The newborn brain has the ability to learn patterns, a process called statistical learning.
Statistical learning occurs when statistical regularities are extracted from repeated patterns. In human learning, these patterns include sensory inputs, both from the external context and from the internal milieu of the body.[1][2][3][4] Recent discussions assume that the human brain treats learning as rational statistical inference using Bayesian probablility theory.[5][6][7]
