Using the serial reaction time (SRT) task developed by Nissen and Bullemer (1987, Cognitive Psychology, 19, 1-32), implicit memory performance was examined in four groups of subjects: nondemented healthy aged individuals; nondemented Parkinson's disease individuals; very mildly demented senile dementia of the Alzheimer type (SDAT) individuals; and mildly demented SDAT individuals. The SRT task involved four blocks of a repeated 10-item keypress sequence that tapped general skill development…

Testing implicit sequence learning in AD and PD patients, and healthy controls, using the classical Serial Reaction Time Task and a somewhat similar Pattern Learning Task, which involves stylus movements in different directions, shows less implicit motor learning in the PD patients relative to the other groups in both tasks.

In light of these unexpected results the research on SRT learning in PD is reconsidered, and some possible explanations for the sometimes conflicting results of PD patient samples on the SRT task are considered.

Procedural learning impairment is not an early feature of PD, but is likely to emerge with progression of the disease, independently of cognitive dysfunction or dopaminergic medication.
