A statistical weighting used by CJ

Hello,It is given in the thread CJ to me link Q:Need your help to get it. Thank you for your help. Meaning is use. The context::(Meaning is not definition.)The meanings of a word are known by observing its usage in speech and writing again and again and again and again. Each observation changes a statistical weighting in the brain. After thousands of observations the statistical weightings become very similar to those in the brain of a native speaker. For a non-native, only continued and intense exposure can enable these statistical weightings to come into balance.

I think CJ was describing a language learning process, and also, the process by which language (and meaning) changes. How do babies learn language? The mother, father, and family members repeat a word in the context of experience.
