Abstract

This EEG study investigated which cognitive stages are present when solving a simple arithmetical task and what their qualitative changes with respect to learning are. We hypothesised there are cognitive stages that differ in occupation over three distinct learning phases, similar in characteristics to the cognitive, associative and autonomous phase as defined by Fitts and Posner (1967). To this end, we used an alpha-arithmetical task by Zbrodoff (1995) from which we obtained EEG-correlates. Using a bottom-up approach combining hidden semi-Markov modelling and multi-variate pattern analysis, we found that with practice the number of cognitive stages, response time and effect of task difficulty all reduced, substantiating multiple learning phases. However, the obtained cognitive stages remained dependent on task difficulty and did not fully conform to the characteristics of expected final learning phase.
