Predicting the future: From implicit learning to consolidation

►Predicting subsequent events is one of the most fundamental functions of the brain. ►The most of these predictions are based on implicit learning. ►We summarize the findings regarding consolidation of implicit sequence learning. ►Multiple mechanisms exist in consolidation (e.g., general skill/sequence-specific). ►Influencing factors: awareness, length of delay, perceptual-motor learning and age.
