abstract = {Learning is a central ability for human development. Many
skills we learn, such as language, are learned through
observation or imitation in social contexts. Likewise, many
skills are learned implicitly, that is, without an explicit
intent to learn and without full awareness of the acquired
knowledge. Here, we asked whether performance in a motor
learning task is modulated by social vs. object cues of
varying validity. To address this question, we asked
participants to carry out a serial reaction time (SRT) task
in which, on each trial, people have to respond as fast and
as accurately as possible to the appearance of a stimulus at
one of four possible locations. Unbeknownst to participants,
the sequence of successive locations was sequentially
structured, so that knowledge of the sequence facilitates
anticipation of the next stimulus and hence faster motor
responses. Crucially, each trial also contained a cue
pointing to the next stimulus location. Participants could
thus learn based on the cue, or on learning about the
sequence of successive locations, or on a combination of
both. Results show an interaction between cue type and cue
validity for the motor responses: social cues (vs. object
cues) led to faster responses in the low validity (LV)
condition only. Concerning the extent to which learning was
implicit, results show that in the cued blocks only, the
highly valid social cue led to implicit learning. In the
uncued blocks, participants showed no implicit learning in
the highly valid social cue condition, but did in all other
combinations of stimulus type and cueing validity. In
conclusion, our results suggest that implicit learning is
context-dependent and can be influenced by the cue type,
e.g., social and object cues.},
