Pacton, Sebastien; Perruchet, Pierre – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2008
In 5 experiments, results showed that when participants are faced with materials embedding relations between both adjacent and nonadjacent elements, they learn exclusively the type of relations they had to actively process in order to meet the task demands, irrespective of the spatial contiguity of the paired elements. These results are consonant…
