We are interested in motor, perceptual, and cognitive procedural learning processes. For that reason, our lab uses a range of tasks such as, Serial Reaction Time (SRT), Tower of Hanoi, and Weather prediction (a probabilistic judgment task). Recently, we implemented eye tracking in the SRT task that enables fine-grained analyses of the sequence learning processes.
