Saevland + Norman (2016)
What did Saevland + Norman (2016) define implicit learning as?
Learning that occurs without full conscious awareness
What is a common way of finding evidence of implicit learning?
Serial reaction time
Who defined implicit learning?
Saevland + Norman (2016)
What did Saevland + Norman define implicit learning as?
Learning that occurs without full conscious awareness of the regulations within the learning material
How can we find evidence of implicit learning?
Serial reaction time task
How is serial reaction time task carried out?
Ppts press a key in response to the location of a stimulus on the screen
There is a pattern then at the end, a new sequence
What are the typical results of an SRT?
Ppts speed up over trials and then have a slower response during the new sequence
What is the expectation of amnesia in regards to implicit learning?i
Intact implicit learning and impaired explicit learning
What is the reality of amnesia in regards to amnesia?
Amnesic patients have slower than healthy controls on implicit learning tasks
What is the expectation of parkinson’s disease in regards to implicit learning?
Preserved explicit memory and impaired implicit learning
What is the reality of Parkinson’s disease in relation to implicit learning?
Often deficits in both types of learning
