    "title": "Post-encoding Verbalization Impairs Transfer on Artifical Grammar Tasks",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "In a series of studies, Schooler and Engstler-Schooler\n(1990) showed that verbalization of previously\nencountered non-verbal stimuli can impair subsequent memory performance. The present study investigates the possibility that the verbal disruption of non-verbal\nprocesses, called verbal overshadowing, m a y be\napplied to implicit learning, i.e., where what is\nlearned is difTicult to verbalize. One frequently\nstudied area of implicit learning is artificial grammars\n(e.g., Reber & Lewis, 1977). In the artificial\ngrammar research, it has been shown that subjects can\nlearn information about regularities in letter strings\ngenerated from a fmite state grammar, as measured by\ntransfer tests, while being unable to usefully state\nwhat those regularities are. The apparent disparity\nbetween subjects' competent performance on artificial\ngrammar tasks and their inabiUty to explain the rules\nof those tasks suggests the possibility that\nverbalization following memorization of artificial\ngrammar strings may impair subjects' performance on\na transfer task. In this study, subjects memorized a\nsubset of grammatical letter strings, then half of them\nverbalized the rules they learned during memorization.\nThe verbal subjects performed significantly worse\nthan the non-verbal subjects on a transfer task,\nproviding preliminary evidence that verbalization may\nimpair transfer when the learned information is\ndifficult to verbalize",
