Abstract
People are capable of learning patterns (or sequences) present in the environment both consciously and unconsciously. Learning sequences unconsciously is known as implicit sequence learning. In this study, participants were asked to respond to a sequence of stimuli on a computer screen via four response buttons to assess which visual features of the stimulus were most significant to implicit learning mechanisms. The current study presented a single sequence containing three underlying perceptual features including location, color, and shape. Reaction time differences showed that location information is likely the most salient perceptual feature to implicit learning mechanisms within the visual dimension; once a location is associated with a sequence, secondary perceptual learning may not take place.
