This study investigated sequence learning, finding that priming and recognition measures are linked. Even when recognition fails, sequence priming can still occur, suggesting a shared memory basis.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Experimental Psychology
  • Human Memory Research

Background:

  • Exposure to repeating stimuli can lead to both response priming and recognition.
  • Previous research has explored sequence learning in speeded tasks.
  • The relationship between priming and recognition in sequence learning remains debated.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine if priming and recognition measures can be dissociated in sequence learning.
  • To investigate the concurrent measurement of priming and recognition.
  • To test a formal model linking priming and recognition through a common memory variable.

Main Methods:

  • Three experiments utilized deterministic and probabilistic sequences.
  • A novel procedure allowed concurrent measurement of priming and recognition.

  • Speeded localization tasks were employed with both group and item-level analyses.

    • Main Results:

    • Group-level analyses showed no dissociation between priming and recognition.
    • Item-level analysis revealed dissociations: recognition speed affected judgments, and un-recognized items still showed priming.
    • Results were compatible with a single common memory variable model.

    Conclusions:

    • Priming and recognition in sequence learning are not fully dissociable at the group level.
    • Item-level analyses suggest nuanced differences, but a unified memory model explains the data.
    • This research supports a shared underlying memory mechanism for sequence priming and recognition.
