Figure 2.

Figure 2 (a) If the entire sequence could be executed by the program assembled at trial 1, then trial 1 RT will be high but RTs across trials 2 to 10 would not differ. (b) If the sequence was always parsed into 3-trial chunks then RTs will additionally peak on trials 4, 7 and 10. But as chunk sizes become variable – 3 to 5 (c), 3 to 6 (d) and 3 to 9 (e), the pattern increasing becomes one of gradual increase across trials 2 to 10.
