The present study tested the hypothesis that in motor sequences, the interval between successive movements is critical for the type of representation that develops. Participants practiced two 7-key sequences in the context of a discrete sequence production (DSP) task. The 0-RSI group practiced these sequences with…

An exhaustive review is reported of over 25 years of research with the Discrete Sequence Production (DSP) task as reported in well over 100 articles. In line with the increasing call for theory development, this culminates into proposing the second version of the Cognitive framework of Sequential Motor Behavior (C-SMB…

serial reaction time task Authors: ['Hillary Schwarb' 'Eric H. Schumacher'] Over the last 20 years researchers have used the serial reaction time (SRT) task to investigate the nature of spatial sequence learning. They have used the task to identify the locus of spatial sequence learning, identify situations that…

for the generation of explicit sequence knowledge? Authors: ['Sabine Schwager' 'Dennis Rünger' 'Robert Gaschler' 'Peter A. Frensch'] In incidental sequence learning situations, there is often a number of participants who can report the task-inherent sequential regularity after training. Two kinds of mechanisms for the…

From typing on a keyboard to playing the piano, many everyday skills require the ability to quickly and accurately perform sequential movements. It is well-known that the availability of rewards lead to increases in motivational vigor whereby people enhance both the speed and force of their movements. However, in the…

Procedural learning facilitates the efficient processing of complex environmental stimuli and contributes to the acquisition of automatic behaviour. In the present study, we investigated two sub-components of procedural learning: statistical learning and sequence learning. The former one refers to the acquisition of…

Only some, but not all, individuals who practice tasks with dual structure, overt and covert, are able to comprehend consciously a hidden regularity. The formation of implicit representations of regularity has been proposed to be critical for subsequent awareness. However, explicit knowledge also has been predicted by…

The capacity to sequence information is central to human performance. Sequencing ability forms the foundation stone for higher order cognition related to language and goal-directed planning. Information related to the order of items, their timing, chunking and hierarchical organization are important aspects in…

Humans can implicitly learn complex perceptuo-motor skills over the course of large numbers of trials. This likely depends on our becoming better able to take advantage of ever richer and temporally deeper predictive relationships in the environment. Here, we offer a novel characterization of this process, fitting a…

While temporal expectations (TE) generally improve reactions to temporally predictable events, it remains unknown how temporal rule learning and explicit knowledge about temporal rules contribute to performance improvements and whether any contributions generalise across modalities. Here, participants discriminated the…

We contrast two accounts of how novel sequences are learned. The first is that learning changes the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of existing neural representations by reducing noise or increasing signal gain. Alternatively, learning might cause the initial representation of the sequence to be recoded into more efficient…
