Implicit sequence learning paradigm is one of the most frequently applied
research paradigms in the field of implicit learning research. The representation of
implicit sequence learning is a basic problem in the field of implicit learning. There
are two main theoretical views on the representation of implicit sequence learning:
stimulus-stimulus (S-S) learning, response-response (R-R) learning. Previous studies
mostly used traditional key reaction to investigate implicit sequence learning,
which have problems such as different subjects have different response speed and
subjects maybe left-hander or right-hander. In order to overcome the shortcoming
of traditional key reaction method, the eye movement recording method was used
in this study, and the saccadic response time as the dependent variable.T aking 36
college students as subjects (19.92 ± 1.59 years), the subjects were randomly assigned
to the prosaccade group or the antisaccade group. The prosaccade means when the
target stimulus appears, subject’s eye jumps to the location of the target stimulus;
the antisaccade means when the target stimulus appears, subject’s eye jumps to the
mirror location of the location of the target stimulus. F test was performed on the
saccadic reaction time and implicit sequence learning volume of the 1-11 groups.The results showed that: (1) the main effect of blocks segment was significant. As the
block increased, the saccade reaction time decreased significantly; (2) the main effect
of the groups was significant. The saccadic reaction time in the prosaccade group was
significantly lower than that in the antisaccade group; (3) there was no significant
difference in the implicit sequence learning scores between the prosaccade group and
the antisaccade group. The results showed that implicit sequence learning is mainly
based on reactive learning.
