LOPEZ-RAMON, Maria Fernanda; URQUIJO, Sebastián  and  RICHARD'S, María Marta. Modifications of the artificial grammars paradigm for children. Rev. Latinoam. Psicol. [online]. 2008, vol.40, n.2, pp. 321-334. ISSN 0120-0534.

The aim of the present article is to describe and analyze some modifications to the Artificial Grammars Learning Paradigm that makes it adaptable to children by using interactive computer games presented in two formats: Alphabetical and Figurative. We worked with a sample of 50 children of third and fifth year of Basic General Education (EGB) from a Provincial School of Mar del Plata, Argentina. The punctuations obtained in both tests of Implicit Learning were significant with regard to what was expected by chance. The means comparison (pair-samples) shows that the differences between both tests were not significant. The suggested modifications imply a contribution to the evaluation of Implicit Learning in children with new procedural and visual elements, based on the feedback.

Keywords : Implicit; Learning; Alphabetical; Figurative; Game.
