Paper presented at the Fifth Implicit Learning Seminar, Lancaster, UK.
The present study manipulates first and second order transitional probabilities during the statistical learning of short sequences. Participants were exposed to four sequences of three stimuli (ABC) repeated during the task, with each stimulus corresponding to the position of a red dot on a touchscreen. Participants were required to touch the...
The ability to learn adjacent and non-adjacent pairs is central in language processing. However, current evidence indicates that adjacent and non-adjacent pairs are not equally learnable. The present study investigated the role of transitional probabilities during the learning of adjacent and non-adjacent pairs appearing in non-linguistic short...
The extraction of cooccurrences between two events, A and B, is a central learning mechanism shared by all species capable of associative learning. Formally, the cooccurrence of events A and B appearing in a sequence is measured by the transitional probability (TP) between these events, and it corresponds to the probability of the second...
