title: Implicit Learning of Spatial Sequences creator: Green, Christopher D. creator: Munro, Ellen subject: Cognitive Psychology subject: Syntax subject: Perceptual Cognitive Psychology subject: Psycholinguistics description: Implicit learning for verbal strings generated by a finite state machine (FSM) has been demonstrated repeatedly. No one, however, has investigated whether such learning can take place when the information to be learned is spatial in nature. In this study, subjects learned sequences of FSM-generated spatial information displayed on a 3ยด3 grid. They were able to learn these sequences faster than subjects similarly set to learn random spatial sequences. As is typical in implicit learning studies, although the subjects in the experimental group were unable to articulate the rules governing the sequences, they were nevertheless able to distinguish new grammatical strings from random ones at a rate far above chance. date: 1995 type: Preprint type: NonPeerReviewed format: text/html identifier: http://cogprints.org/1891/1/Spatial.htm identifier: Green, Christopher D. and Munro, Ellen (1995) Implicit Learning of Spatial Sequences.
