Abstract: Research on implicit learning has shown that the knowledge generated from memorizing patterned symbol sequences can be used to make familiarity judgements of novel sequences with similar structure.However, the degree to which these knowledge representations can be used for subsequent cognitive processing is not known.In this study, participants memorized either patterned number strings (patterned training) or random number strings (random training) and then solved either a number or letter sequence extrapolation problem.Patterned training participants performed significantly better on number problems than on letter problems, thus implying that patterned training influences performance, but only on near transfer problems.
