PSYB57H3 Final: CogLab article notes needed for final exam
Document Summary
refers to acquiring knowledge abt the rule-governed complexities of the stimulus environment. eg: implicit sequence learning, where person learns a complex pattern but is unable to state what the rule is that governs the pattern. typical implicit sequence learning task = serial response time (srt) task. interested in how quickly a person can identify where a stimulus was shown. there is an underlying pattern that defines the order in which the stimuli appears in the location. if the subject learns this pattern, their rxn times (rt) will decrease. test block = pattern is changed; if subject learns the pattern, then the rt increases here. process-pure assumption = when one assumes that a particular task requires only one particular kind of processing. if you avoid this, then the contradictory findings (sometimes there is awareness of the learned info, sometimes there isn"t) won"t be that evident.
