%T Investigation of sequence processing: A cognitive and computational neuroscience perspective
%X Serial order processing or sequence processing underlies
many human activities such as speech, language, skill
learning, planning, problem-solving, etc. Investigating
the neural bases of sequence processing enables us to
understand serial order in cognition and also helps in
building intelligent devices. In this article, we review
various cognitive issues related to sequence processing
with examples. Experimental results that give evidence
for the involvement of various brain areas will be described.
Finally, a theoretical approach based on statistical
models and reinforcement learning paradigm is
presented. These theoretical ideas are useful for studying
sequence learning in a principled way. This article
also suggests a two-way process diagram integrating
experimentation (cognitive neuroscience) and theory/
computational modelling (computational neuroscience).
This integrated framework is useful not only in the present
study of serial order, but also for understanding
many cognitive processes.
