先前的研究表明，视觉统计学习（VSL）增强了序列的熟悉性（一种记忆）。统计学上的干扰是如何影响每个三元组元素和插入干扰项的加工的？鉴于VSL引起的对三联体的注意增加和对无人看管的三联体的抑制，我们预测VSL将促进每个三联体成分的记忆，并降低插入刺激的记忆。在前两个实验中，我们发现结构化序列中的对象比随机序列中的对象更容易被记住，而插入结构化序列中的字母（实验1）或对象（实验2）比插入随机序列中的更不容易被记住。在随后的两个实验中，我们研究了我们的结果的另一种解释，即结构化和随机条件之间插入项目的记忆差异是由于随机序列中项目的个性化。我们的研究结果复制，即使控制字母（实验3A）或对象（实验3B）之前或之后，而不是插入到，随机序列。我们的研究结果表明，统计学习增强了对规则集合中每个项目的记忆，并削弱了对破坏规则的项目的记忆。(C)2015 Elsevier B.V.版权所有。
Prior studies have shown that visual statistical learning (VSL) enhances familiarity (a type of memory) of sequences. How do statistical regularities influence the processing of each triplet element and inserted distractors that disrupt the regularity? Given that increased attention to triplets induced by VSL and inhibition of unattended triplets, we predicted that VSL would promote memory for each triplet constituent, and degrade memory for inserted stimuli. Across the first two experiments, we found that objects from structured sequences were more likely to be remembered than objects from random sequences, and that letters (Experiment 1) or objects (Experiment 2) inserted into structured sequences were less likely to be remembered than those inserted into random sequences. In the subsequent two experiments, we examined an alternative account for our results, whereby the difference in memory for inserted items between structured and random conditions is due to individuation of items within random sequences. Our findings replicated even when control letters (Experiment 3A) or objects (Experiment 3B) were presented before or after, rather than inserted into, random sequences. Our findings suggest that statistical learning enhances memory for each item in a regular set and impairs memory for items that disrupt the regularity. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
