چکیده

When task exposure facilitates performance without producing corresponding changes in verbalizable knowledge, learning is said to be implicit. In Experiment 1, event-related potentials (ERPs) were recorded as individuals practiced an implicit structured sequence learning (ISSL) task wherein only some target events required a response. With practice, the ERPs to targets that obeyed the underlying grammar diverged from those that did not at around 200 ms; grammatical targets appeared to be more positive between 200 and 500 ms because a similar positivity for the ungrammatical targets was delayed. In Experiment 2, the grammar was simplified allowing a direct comparison to be made between an implicit learning group and an explicit group, who were taught the grammar prior to recording. The results of the comparison revealed a remarkable similarity but did implicate at least partially nonidentical neural mechanisms in implicit and explicit structured sequence learning.

Impact of Response Stimulus Interval on Transfer of Non-local Dependent Rules in Implicit Learning: An ERP Investigation

In the literature on implicit learning, controversy exists regarding whether the knowledge obtained from implicit sequence learning consists of context-bound superficial features or context-free structural rules. To explore the nature of implicit knowledge, event related potentials (ERP) recordings of participants' performances in a non-local dependent transfer task under two response-stimulus-...

The Impact of Structured Input-based Tasks on L2 Learners’ Grammar Learning

Abstract Task-based language teaching has received increased attention in second language research. However, the combination of structured input-based approach and task-based language teaching has not been examined in relation to L2 grammar learning. To address this gap, the present study investigated how the structured input-based tasks with and without explicit information impacted learners’ ...

Implicit Sequence Learning in Hearing Children and Deaf Children with Cochlear Implants

Understanding what cognitive mechanisms contribute to successful language acquisition and development has remained an important but elusive goal of the psychological sciences. Current theories suggest that the ability to learn structured sequential patterns – i.e. ,”implicit” or “statistical” learning -may underlie language processing and development. In this paper, we investigate the role that...
