q2 i0 Correlations between the implicit learning measure and aftereffects, and between the slow-process learning rate and those measures, were small and nonsignificant in both groups. → Yamada 2025

Yamada, C., Itaguchi, Y., & Rodríguez-Aranda, C. (2025). Unconscious cultural cognitive biases in explicit processes of visuomotor adaptation. npj Science of Learning. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41539-025-00335-0

q2 · i0 · causal · r2

A correlation analysis in the cross-cultural experiment (n = 24 per group) found the implicit learning measure was "not strong in both groups" in its correlations with aftereffects (Norwegian r = 0.08 and r = 0.18; Japanese r = −0.23 and r = −0.31); slow-process learning rates also did not correlate with these measures.

"the correlation coefficients between the implicit learning measure in the last period of the adaptation block and the aftereffects in the terminal- feedback and washout blocks were not strong in both groups"
