The Serial Reaction Time Task

The Serial Reaction Time Task (SRTT) is a psychological test used to assess implicit learning and motor skills. In this task, participants respond to visual cues by pressing buttons as quickly as possible. The sequence of cues often follows a hidden pattern that participants may not be consciously aware of. Over time, individuals typically improve their response times as they become familiar with the sequence, demonstrating their ability to learn and anticipate actions without explicit knowledge. This task helps researchers understand learning processes and cognitive functions related to memory and skill acquisition.
