Abstract

It has been reported that visual statistical learning (VSL) is facilitated in skewed distributions. However, it remains unclear whether enhancement of VSL in Zipfian distributions is due to consciousness of the regularities presented at high frequency. This study addressed this issue. We measured participants' subjective confidence in regularities and awareness of regularities during familiarization by combining a previously reported procedure for VSL with a postdecision wagering task and posttest questionnaire. The results demonstrated that Zipfian distribution enhanced not only VSL but also metacognitive sensitivity, particularly for high-frequency regularities, as the effects of consciousness on VSL were limited to high-frequency regularities. Moreover, the results indicated that awareness during familiarization mediated VSL enhancement in the Zipfian distribution. These results suggest that VSL for events with high-frequency regularities plays an important role in the cognition of events with low-frequency regularities via awareness.

意识影响Zipfian分布中视觉统计学习的增强。

据报道，视觉统计学习（VSL）在偏斜分布中很容易实现。然而，尚不清楚齐普芬分布中VSL的增强是否是由于意识到高频出现的规律。这项研究解决了这个问题。我们通过将先前报道的VSL程序与决策后下注任务和测试后问卷相结合，测量了参与者在熟悉过程中对规则的主观信心和对规则的意识。结果表明，Zipfan分布不仅增强了VSL，而且增强了元认知敏感性，特别是对高频规律的敏感性，因为意识对VSL的影响仅限于高频规律。此外，研究结果表明，熟悉过程中的意识介导了Zipfian分布中VSL的增强。这些结果表明，具有高频规律的事件的VSL在通过意识认知具有低频规律的事件中起着重要作用。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2023 APA，保留所有权利）。
