Abstract:
:We explored the effects of sensory information upon procedural learning using three versions of the serial reaction-time task (SRTT): a standard task where the position of the stimulus cued the response; a non-standard task where the color of the stimulus was related to the correct response; and a combined task where both the color and position simultaneously cued the response. Despite these differences, each task had the same temporal pattern of a repeating ten-item sequence. We refer to each of these tasks based upon the cues available for guiding learning: position, color, and combined tasks. Procedural sequence learning was greater for the combined than for the other two tasks, suggesting that learning is enhanced when multiple sources of sensory information cue consistently and simultaneously for the same response. Transfer of skill occurred across all the tasks, except from the position to the color task. These results suggest that a fundamental neural algorithm is responsible for acquiring knowledge about a temporal sequence of responses rather than forming an associative relationship amongst stimuli.
