Investigating the Role of Selective Attention in Implicit Learning Using Overlapping Letter Strings
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this study, the role of selective attention in implicit artificial grammar (AG) learning was investigated using the overlapping procedure; this novel procedure has been invented in order to exclude the methodological problems in the dual-task procedure. The results reveal that selective attention plays an important role in AG learning, although a possibility still remains that participants can learn AG without attention.

What Is Really Learned in Artificial Grammar Learning? Implicit Intention for Learning in the Selective Attention Process
This study aimed to investigate what is really learned in artificial grammar (AG) learning and how selective attention influences AG learning. In the learning phase, depending on the aspects of GLOCAL strings—chains of compound letters that can allow two different AGs— participants were presented with two different series of letter strings. Their selective attention was manipulated by the exper...
متن کاملRight Hand Preference in Implicit Motor Learning in Children with High-Functioning Autism and Asperger Syndrome
Objectives: Cerebral hemispheres functioning have been found to be abnormal in children with ASD. The role of lateralization in implicit and explicit motor learning has received little attention in ASD researches. The main goal of this study is investigating the differences between two hands implicit and explicit motor learning in children with ASD and typical matched group. Methods: In the ...
متن کاملVisual strength as the constraint condition in artificial grammar learning
Previous research using the chain of compound letters as letter strings in artificial grammar learning (AGL) suggested that visual saliency known as global precedence influenced the extent of learning. In this study the luminance of letter strings in the learning phase was manipulated to investigate the effect of visual input on AGL regardless of top down attention control. As a result, partici...
متن کاملIntact implicit learning in schizophrenia.
OBJECTIVE Schizophrenia impairs performance on explicit, but not implicit, memory tasks, indicating that conscious awareness at retrieval is a critical determinant of impaired memory. The authors investigated implicit learning, i.e., knowledge acquisition in the absence of conscious awareness, in patients with schizophrenia. METHOD An artificial grammar learning task was used to assess implic...
متن کاملInvestigating the role of instructional focus in incidental pattern learning.
The authors used a novel dual-component training procedure that combined a serial reaction time task and an artificial grammar learning task to investigate the role of instructional focus in incidental pattern learning. In Experiment 1, participants either memorized letter strings as a primary task and reacted to the stimuli locations as a secondary task or vice versa. In Experiment 2, particip...
