The Effects of Structural Complexity on Age-Related Deficits in Implicit Probabilistic Sequence Learning.
Article in The journals of gerontology. Series B, Psychological sciences and social sciences, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThe primary objective was to determine whether age deficits in implicit sequence learning occur not only for second-order probabilistic regularities (event n - 2 predicts n), as reported earlier, but also for first-order regularities (event n - 1 predicts event n). A secondary goal was to determine whether age differences in learning vary with level of structure.
methodYounger and older adults completed a nonmotor sequence learning task containing either a first- or second-order structure. Learning scores were calculated for each subject and compared to address our research objectives.
resultsAge deficits in implicit learning emerged not only for second-order probabilistic structure, but also for simple, first-order structure. In addition, age differences did not vary significantly with structure; both first and second order yielded similar age deficits. DISCUSSION: These findings are consistent with the view that there is an associative binding deficit in aging and that this deficit occurs for implicit as well as explicit learning and across simple and more complex sequence structures.
