Initial Exploration of a New Tool to Quickly and Automatically Measure Implicit Learning Deficits in the Clinical Setting

Implicit learning abilities (IL) are unintentional processes that analyze patterns within the environment. Individual differences in IL can predict syntactic processing. IL impairments have been observed in Parkinson’s Disease, specific language impairment3, and recently Autism Spectrum Disorders. However, IL tasks continue to be used primarily in the experimental literature. In the present work, we adapt a paradigmatic task for:verbal and non-verbal populations, individuals with intellectual disability, and capable of being implemented in an inpatient setting with bedside assessment
