Abstract
In previously reported experiments, human participants searched for target locations in a 4 3 4 grid of locations on an LCD display. The target locations were arranged either in a structured spatial pattern or randomly. After participants learned the correct locations, the identities of the target and nontarget locations were reversed. Participants for whom target locations were arranged in a spatial pattern showed immediate reversal of performance, indicating that the targets were learned in terms of their spatial pattern, and not in terms of their individual locations. The experiments reported here show the generality of this effect, and an alternative explanation in terms of motor pattern learning is examined.
