de Kleijn, Roy; Kachergis, George; Hommel, Bernhard – Cognitive Science, 2018
Sequential action makes up the bulk of human daily activity, and yet much remains unknown about how people learn such actions. In one motor learning paradigm, the serial reaction time (SRT) task, people are taught a consistent sequence of button presses by cueing them with the next target response. However, the SRT task only records keypress…

Lin, Yu-Cheng; Lin, Pei-Ying; Yeh, Li-Hao – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
Previous studies on spoken word production have shown that native English speakers used phoneme-sized units (e.g., a word-initial phoneme, C) to produce English words, and native Mandarin Chinese speakers employed syllable-sized units (e.g., a word-initial consonant and vowel, CV) as phonological encoding units in Chinese. With spoken word…
