AGL StimSelect: Software for automated selection of stimuli for artificial grammar learning

From: Behavior Research Methods | Date: February 1, 2008| Author: Bailey, Todd M; Pothos, Emmanuel M | Copyright information

Artificial grammar learning (AGL) is an experimental paradigm that has been used extensively in cognitive research for many years to study implicit learning, associative learning, and generalization on the basis of either similarity or rules. Without computer assistance, it is virtually impossible to generate appropriate grammatical training stimuli along with grammatical or nongrammatical test stimuli that control relevant psychological variables. We present the first flexible, fully automat...

Chunks are not enough: The insufficiency of feature frequency-based explanations of artificial grammar learning
Canadian Journal of Experimental Psychology ; Abstract Two experiments tested chunk frequency explanations of artificial grammar learning which hold that classification performance is dependent on some metric derived from the frequency with which certain features occur within the letter string stimuli. Experiment 1 revealed that classification

Sources of confidence judgments in implicit cognition
Psychonomic Bulletin & Review ; Subjective reports of confidence are frequently used as a measure of awareness in a variety of fields, including artificial grammar learning. However, little is known about what information is used to make confidence judgments and whether there are any possible sources of information used to

Abstract Analogies and Positive Transfer in Artificial Grammar Learning
Canadian Journal of Experimental Psychology ; Abstract Following Brooks and Vokey (1991), we show that positive transfer to new items generated from an artificial grammar in which the vocabulary has been changed from training to test can be based on "abstract analogy" to specific training items (specific similarity) rather than abstraction of
