There seems to be a ton of information about sequence learning, so I think by the end of this project I will hopefully have made at least two sections and thoroughly explained those. With the rest of my heading ideas on the talk page.

    - whether an action policy is deterministic or stochastic 
    - applicable domains—for example, software agents, speech and language processing, navigation learning, or motor sequence learning.

Sequence Learning

Sequence learning is inherent to human ability because it is an integrated part of conscious and nonconscious learning as well as activities. Sequences of information or sequences of actions are used in various everyday tasks: "from sequencing sounds in speech, to sequencing movements in typing or playing instruments, to sequencing actions in driving an automobile."[1] Sequence learning can be used to study skill acquisition and used in studies of various groups ranging from neuropsychological patients to infants.[1] According to Ritter and Nerb, “The order in which material is presented can strongly influence what is learned, how fast performance increases, and sometimes even whether the material is learned at all.”[2] Sequence learning, more known and understood as a form of explicit learning, is now also being studied as a form of implicit learning as well as other forms of learning.

Types of Sequence Learning

There are many different types of sequence learning.

Explicit sequence learning

Implicit sequence learning

A form of implicit learning, implicit sequence learning refers to the underlying methods of learning that people are unaware of; in other words, learning without knowing. Hsiang-Ling Jennifer Lin states that the exact properties and number of mechanisms of implicit learning are debated by researchers.[3]
