At the end of session 4 in experiment 1, participants in the New group performed worse on novel movement transitions than the Compatible and Incompatible groups. → Susanne Dyck & Christian Klaes 2025 q3 i?

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Δ RTs for novel transitions at the end of session 4 in experiment 1 (Welch's ANOVA F = 11.987, p < 0.001): "participants in the New group performing worse than in the other groups" on novel transitions. No effect size printed.

"the performance in the New group signi ficantly differed from the Compatible ( p = 0.002) and Incompatible ( p = 0.014) groups, with participants in the New group performing worse than in the other groups."

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Δ RTs for learned transitions at the start of session 4 in experiment 1 (ANOVA F = 8.679, p < 0.001): "the performance of the Same group was higher"; by the end of the session there was no significant difference between groups (F = 1.721, p = 0.189). No effect size printed.

"The performance in the Same group significantly differed from the Compatible (p < 0.001) and Incompatible ( p = 0.007) groups, i.e. the performance of the Same group was higher."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• By the end of the final training session, Compatible and Incompatible groups reach the performance level of the Same group, whereas the New group does not, in both experiments. — related
• After three prior training sessions, implicit learning of sequences compatible in movement transitions (both Compatible and Incompatible groups) is faster than learning a completely new sequence in experiment 1. — related
• Switching from a trained implicit motor sequence to a new, compatible, or incompatible sequence significantly reduces sequence-specific performance compared with continuing the same sequence, in both experiments. — related
• Compatible and Incompatible groups performed comparably across learning, indicating that the basis of compatibility in implicit MSL is shared movement transitions rather than ordinal positions. — related
• In implicit motor sequence learning, sequence-specific performance shows a significant timepoint-by-group interaction in both a 4-day and a 2-day training design. — related
