Note. Stimulus sequences were numbered as in Figure 1. n = number of subjects randomly assigned to this training sequence. G is a grammatical regularity score taken from Jamieson and Mewhort’s (2009) study of implicit learning. G = 1 – U(sequence)/U(random) where U(sequence) is equal to the first-order entropy of the sequence. This is simply equal to the entropy of the probability distribution of transitions from positions i to j: -ΣiΣjpijlog(pij), where pij is the probability that position i will transition to symbol j. U(random) is equal to the first-order entropy of a fully random transition matrix Ri,j (excluding where i = j).
