内隐序列学习不受注意负荷的影响:来自眼动的证据

ATTENTION LOAD HAS NO EFFECT ON IMPLICIT SEQUENCE LEARNING:AN EYE MOVEMENT STUDY

利用眼动记录方法,采用内隐序列学习的观察范式,通过操纵注意负荷高和低,考察内隐序列学习是否需要注意参与。结果发现:(1)在高、低注意负荷条件下都出现了内隐序列学习效应;(2)高注意负荷条件下眼跳反应时长于低注意负荷条件下的;(3)高、低注意负荷序列内隐序列学习量差异不显著,表明内隐序列学习不受注意负荷影响。

The relationship between implicit sequence learning and attention is one of the controversial hot spots in im- plicit learning. Some studies suggest that attention has no effect on implicit sequence learning, but others suggest it does not. The reason for this discrepancy remains obscure. In an eye-tracking experiment we use a new version of the serial reaction time （SRT） task in which participants merely look at the target instead of responding manually. We use one factor within-subjects design （attentional load： high, low） to explore whether attention plays role in implicit sequence learning. The results are as follows： （1） There are sequence learning effect in both high attentional load sequence and low attentional load sequence; （2） Saccadic response time in high attentional load condition is longer than low attentional load condition; （3） There are no significant difference in implicit sequence learning scores between high attentional load sequence and low attentional load sequence. The findings suggest that attention load has no effect on implicit sequence learning.
