Early reaction time variability predicts implicit statistical learning: a comparison of four variability indices

High intra-individual reaction time variability (RTV) is traditionally viewed through a deficit perspective and interpreted as a maladaptive signature of attentional lapses, cognitive inefficiency, and systemic noise. However, theories from motor learning and the competitive neurocognitive networks framework suggest that behavioral variability and reduced top-down control might actually facilitate certain forms of implicit skill acquisition. The present study addresses the apparent conflict...
