Final report

 
Results in Hungarian
A kutatás feltérképezte az implicit – nem-tudatos – tanulás pszichológiai, fejlődési és neurális hátterét. Kimutattuk, hogy a serdülőkor elött a gyerekek jobban tanulnak és találják meg a mintázatokat a környezetben, mint a serdülőkor utáni gyerekek és felnőttek. Ezzel szemben az implicit tanulás emlékezeti konszolidációja fejlődési invarianciát mutat. Tovább megmutattuk, hogy mind a gyerekek, mind a felnőttek egy év után is jól emlékeznek a megtanult szekvenciára. Az OTKA projekt keretében EEG, fMRI és nem-invazív agyi stimulációval tártuk fel az implicit tanulás neurális hátterét. Megmutattuk többek között, hogy a „gyengébb” prefrontális konnektivitás és a prefrontális hálózatok 1 Hz-es TMS stimulációja javítja a tanulást. Kidolgoztunk olyan komputációs modelleket, melyek reakció idő szinten tudják bejósolni a tanulási teljesítményt.
Results in English
Our research delved into the psychological, developmental, and neural aspects of implicit - non-conscious - learning. It was demonstrated that children before adolescence exhibit superior pattern recognition and learning abilities in their environment compared to older children and adults. Conversely, the memory consolidation of implicit learning remained consistent across different developmental stages. Additionally, our findings revealed that both children and adults retained the learned sequences vividly even after a year. Within the OTKA project, we harnessed EEG, fMRI, and non-invasive brain stimulation techniques to uncover the neural underpinnings of implicit learning. Among other findings, we established a correlation between "weaker" prefrontal connectivity and the enhancement of learning through 1 Hz TMS stimulation of prefrontal networks. Moreover, we developed computational models capable of predicting learning performance at the level of reaction times.
