Abstract

Key Points—Question: What is the question this paper addresses? Shedding light on inconsistent findings of implicit sequence learning abilities in individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI) using an eye tracked version of the serial RT (SRT) task, which besides RT, provides two additional measures: correct anticipations (CA) and stucks. Findings: What are the primary findings? Analyses of RT and CA revealed impaired implicit sequence learning in TBI which was linked to a higher stuck rate and associated with a lack of initiative and/or conservative response bias in TBI. Importance: What are the key scientific and practice implications of the findings? Eye movement measures significantly contribute to understanding implicit sequence learning abilities in TBI, as assessed with the SRT task. Next Steps: What directions should be explored in future research? Evaluating the influence of other factors on ISL in TBI, such as length of learning course as well as gender and long-term TBI effects.
