Subclaims¶

q3 i? High-order rule learning decreased during practice and increased during rest periods in Experiment 3 (long ASRT). → Romain Quentin 2021 q3 i? High-order rule learning was present only in Experiment 3, not in Experiment 2. → Romain Quentin 2021 (2)

Evidence¶

Romain Quentin 2021¶

Romain Quentin, Lison Fanuel, Mariann Kiss, Marine Vernet, Teodóra Vékony, Karolina Janacsek, Leonardo G. Cohen and Dezso Nemeth. (2021). Statistical learning occurs during practice while high-order rule learning during rest period. npj Science of Learning 6:14. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41539-021-00093-9

q3 · i? · causal · r1

Results of Experiment 3 (long ASRT, 25 participants, 8 weekly sessions). The article reports high-order rule learning "increased during rest periods" and decreased during practice, with printed t, p and d values.

"high-order rule learning decreased during practice (Experiment 3: Monline = −3.03 ± 6.15 s, t(24) = −2.42, p = 0.02, d = 0.50) and increased during rest periods (Experiment 3: Moffline = 2.76 ± 6.01 s, t(24) = 2.25, p = 0.03, d = 0.46)"

Romain Quentin 2021 (2)¶

Romain Quentin, Lison Fanuel, Mariann Kiss, Marine Vernet, Teodóra Vékony, Karolina Janacsek, Leonardo G. Cohen and Dezso Nemeth. (2021). Statistical learning occurs during practice while high-order rule learning during rest period. npj Science of Learning 6:14. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41539-021-00093-9

q3 · i? · causal · r1

Across-experiment comparison in Results: the block × triplet interaction for pattern vs random-high trials reached significance only in the long ASRT experiment; in Experiment 2 the ANOVA gave F(44, 7876) = 1.42, p = 0.055.

"High-order rule learning, defined as the increase of the difference in RT between pattern and random-high trials, was present only in Experiment 3 (long ASRT)"

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Statistical learning in the ASRT task increases during practice periods and decreases during rest periods — reports the opposite
• Participants showed robust implicit statistical learning and general skill learning on the ASRT task in both studies — related
• Offline change in general skill between sessions 12 h apart was significant, but between sessions a week apart was not — related
