摘要

This paper reports studies of changes in indicators of brain bioelectrical activity during implicit (unconscious) learning. The study showed that implicit learning is accompanied by increases in amplitude in theα1, α2, and θ frequency ranges, mainly in the frontotemporal areas of the cortex. Amplitude also increased in the higher-frequency β range; the most significant increase was in the parietal-occipital and, partially, the frontal areas of the cortex. These changes suggest that implicit learning is based on the interaction of two relatively independent neural networks in the brain. The frontotemporal cortex and the oscillatory systems of the α1- and θ-frequency ranges support information processing and the detection of relevant sequences, whereas the parietal-occipital regions and the oscillatory systems of the β2 and α3 rhythms probably support the processes of expectation and preparation of responses to relevant sequences and ignoring of irrelevant ones. The process of implicit learning was most specifically associated with changes in the range of the θ rhythm.
