Outline of Final Research Achievements

It is known that performance in a particular task is facilitated by repeated experiences. This facilitation effect is generally explained by implicit learning. The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of participants’ set for the task on implicit learning. The results showed that the active set led to the higher learning efficiency, and the spontaneously formed set for the task requirements affected the aspect of implicit learning, suggesting the possibility that participants’ set contributes to the flexibility in implicit learning.
