This article describes a neuropsychological theory of motor skill learning that is based on the
idea that learning grows directly out of motor control processes. Three motor control …

Practice is vital to the acquisition of new skills, but the brain does not stop processing
information when practice stops. After practice, changes take place that strengthen and …

Predictions concerning development, interrelations, and possible independence of working
memory, inhibition, and cognitive flexibility were tested in 325 participants (roughly 30 per …

Global context plays an important, but poorly understood, role in visual tasks. This study
demonstrates that a robust memory for visual context exists to guide spatial attention. Global …

Tonal music is a highly structured system that is ubiquitous in our cultural environment. We
demonstrate the acquisition of implicit knowledge of tonal structure through neural self …

The visual environment is extremely rich and complex, producing information overload for
the visual system. But the environment also embodies structure in the form of redundancies …

The authors theorize that 2 neurocognitive sequence-learning systems can be distinguished
in serial reaction time experiments, one dorsal (parietal and supplementary motor cortex) …

It has been argued that the human cognitive system is capable of using spatial indexes or
oculomotor coordinates to relieve working memory load (Ballard, DH, Hayhoe, MM, Pook …

Artificial grammar learning (AGL) is one of the most commonly used paradigms for the study
of implicit learning and the contrast between rules, similarity, and associative learning …

The role of attention in implicit sequence learning was investigated in 3 experiments in
which participants were presented with a serial reaction time (SRT) task under single-or dual …
