A literature review reveals that all of these different components have been shown to be effective in sequence learning. Implicit learning of loosely defined structures. Wissenschaftlicher Verlag Berlin. Patterns, chunks, and hierarchies in serial reaction time tasks. In a series of sequence-learning experiments with serial choice reaction tasks, relational structures were varied independently from statistical structure.
Relational structure seems to be a central factor driving the learning process.
Patterns, chunks, and hierarchies in serial reaction time tasks. This question is difficult to solve since sequence structure pertains both to the sequence of stimuli and to that of responses, and usually both structures are isomorphic. There have been several attempts to empirically address this question, but the answer is still controversial. This controversy may be due to the fact that extant studies differ in their use of spatial and non-spatial, symbolic stimuli or responses. The aim of this study was to show that spatial structures are preferably learned, irrespective of whether they are contained in the stimulus or the response sequence.
