Incidental sequence learning in humans: Predictions of an associative account - COLSEQ_FY_IPLM_005

Abstract

As in the previous COLSEQ experiments, we wanted to put colour learning and sequence learning in competition to see what sort of cue competition effects we would observe. This coupled together the "Rossy" way of creating the Dual group and my way of producing the Dual group. Rossy put the colours on every third trial so competition for learning would occur, whereas I put the colours correlated with the sequence. Thus we ran a colour and sequence group as before but two Dual groups - one following Rossy's technique (Dual Uncorrelated) and one following mine (Dual Correlated). NOTE: There were issues in this experiment in how the sequencing of the sequence and test colours were distributed, with possible learning about colours. Therefore for analyses purposes we dropped the sequence group.
