  • Title: Implicit learning: A way to improve visual search in spatial neglect?
    Author: Wansard M, Geurten M, Colson C, Meulemans T.
    Journal: Conscious Cogn; 2016 Jul; 43():102-12. PubMed ID: 27262690.
    Abstract:
    Studies have shown that neglect patients are able to use stimulus regularities to orient faster toward the neglected side, without necessarily being aware of that information, or at the very least without being able to verbalize their knowledge. In order to better control for the involvement of explicit processes, the present study sought to test neglect patients' ability to detect more complex associations between stimuli using tasks similar to those used in implicit learning studies. Our results demonstrate that neglect patients had difficulties implicitly learning complex associations, contrary to what we found with controls. The possible influence of attentional and working memory impairments are discussed.
