Results
The results of this study showed that the extent of sequencing in learning and progressive training advantages cannot be completely explained by direct associations between stimulus features and the equivalent responses. These findings were shown to be consistent with the idea of perceptual learning but not with a focus on stimulus variability.
Discussion
The results of this study support the idea that easy-to-hard sequencing presents an advantage in learning. When looking at all the sequencing types, progressive sequencing was shown to have the highest discrimination of the contrasts. It was also shown to have the best generalization to new contrasts even when participants are not trained to discriminate rate. Even though the study showed that participants experienced the exact same stimuli with matching stimulus variability and equal probabilities of having the last...
