Abstract
Sequencing is the fundamental ability of acquiring knowledge of the structure of sequences by acting on a sequence of events – incidentally through experience or intentionally through explicit effort. To acquire sequence knowledge it must be recognized if stimuli are presented in a certain order and which are the ordering rules. To this aim, the information on a single stimulus must be kept active in a working memory system and compared with subsequent stimuli. Furthermore, information on time and space relations among stimuli must be acquired. Once sequence structure has been identify, it has to be stored for subsequent use.
