Over more than a century of research has established the fact that sleep benefits the
retention of memory. In this review we aim to comprehensively cover the field of “sleep and …

Since the very earliest experimental investigations of learning, tension has existed between
association-based and cognitive theories. Associationism accounts for the phenomena of …

The ability to automatically and implicitly detect complex and noisy regularities in the
environment is a fundamental aspect of human cognition. Despite considerable interest in …

This article presents a review on the representational base of sequence learning in the
serial reaction time task. The first part of the article addresses the major questions and …

Extensive research has been accumulated demonstrating that sleep is essential for
processes of memory consolidation in adults. In children and infants, a great capacity to …

Second language learning outcomes are highly variable, due to a variety of factors,
including individual differences, exposure conditions, and linguistic complexity. However …

The Serial Reaction Time task, one of the most widely used tasks to index procedural
memory, has been increasingly employed in individual differences research examining the …

Recent studies on specific language impairment (SLI) have suggested that language deficits
are directly associated with poor procedural learning abilities. Findings from our previous …

The present paper examines the relationship between explicit and implicit memory and
ultimate attainment in the native language. Two groups of native speakers of English with …

Detecting and learning temporal regularities is essential to accurately predict the future. A
long-standing debate in cognitive science concerns the existence in humans of a …
