Some theories of implicit learning hold that exposure to regularities gives rise to abstract knowledge that is independent from the surface features of the exposure material. In three experiments, participants were tested on an artificial grammar learning task, contrasting long and short exposure to regularities. The results showed that long exposure did not give rise to increasingly abstract knowledge compared to short exposure. Instead, long exposure was associated with increased knowledge tied to the surface features of the regularities. The results are consistent with a variety of computational models and provide no evidence for automatic abstraction in artificial grammar learning.
