| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立中正大學 === 心理學系 === 85 === Many studies about implicit learning adopted the Serial Reaction
Time Task (SRT Task) first developed by Nissen & Bullemer (1987)
or its variations, but the possibility of intrusion from
consciousness was not excluded. In the present study a modified
SRT Task was proposed, which stimulus material was made very
chaotic. It investigated 1)whether implicit learning still
existed in the modified SRT Task, 2)whether implicit learning
produced cost as well as benefit, 3)the age difference in the
modified SRT Task. Experiment I indicated that the modified SRT
Task could effectively exclude the influence of consciousness,
and implicit learning still existed. Analysis of cost did not
reach statistical significance due to insufficient power. In
Experiment II Ss of different age groups showed similar benefit
of implicit learning. There was a marginal positive correlation
between cost and benefit of old Ss, which was not found in young
Ss, indicating that the ability of inhibition declined with age.
Results from this study also indicated that Ss learned serial
structures rather than simple frequency information in the
modified SRT Task.
