Declarative learning with immediate feedback
Children will complete a paired associate learning task on a computer. Each response on half of the blocks will be followed by performance feedback. Feedback will be provided 500 ms following a response (button press)
Declarative learning with delayed feedback
Children will complete a paired associate learning task on a computer. Each response on half of the blocks will be followed by performance feedback. Feedback will be provided 5000 ms following a response (button press)
Probabilistic learning with immediate feedback
Children will complete a probabilistic learning task on a computer. Each response on half of the blocks will be followed by feedback. Feedback will be provided 500 ms following a response (button press)
Probabilistic learning with delayed feedback
Children will complete a probabilistic learning task on a computer. Each response on half of the blocks will be followed by feedback. Feedback will be provided 5000 ms following a response (button press)
Word learning task with active feedback
Children will complete a two-choice nonword learning task in which they will be tasked with learning to associate novel objects with novel nonword names through trial and error guided by feedback. Each response will be followed by feedback either indicating that the response is correct or prompting the child to try again (i.e., to correct an error)
Word learning task with passive feedback
Children will complete a two-choice nonword learning task in which they will be tasked with learning to associate novel objects with novel nonword names. Regardless of response accuracy on each trial, each response will be followed by a visual presentation of the correct response.
