PSYC 309 Lecture Notes - Lecture 11: Implicit Learning, Altoids, Visual Acuity
Document Summary
Lecture 11 october 16th, 2013: tie back to attention and global/local processing. Last class priming trigger semantic network, not consciously aware of, impact thinking: stuff that happens outside normal channels of conscious awareness, how do we learn/understand, start to grasp what happens in external world. Classical conditioning: the office jim bugging dwight in a clever way. Jim conditioned dwight to have altoids (brand of mints) whenever jim"s computer made the windows restart sound. How does classical conditioning relate to implicit learning: you learn to make an association that one thing predicts another example of learning, (jim conditioning dwight to have altoids whenever he hears the windows sounds. Dwight implicitly learned); it"s implicit, don"t consciously think about: temporal contingency (possible event to exist) Hdc high demand condition) or a simpler one (right, ldc low demand condition) Studied series of 45 strings of 6-9 letters. Test choosing letter strings from list of 60. Twice as accurate as those who read coherent story.
