Attentional effects on rule extraction and consolidation from speech

Highlights • Amount of attention to rules during artificial language learning was manipulated.• Indirect measures showed incidental rule learning irrespective of attention.• Explicit knowledge after learning was affected by the amount of attention.• The amount of attention at encoding did not affect consolidation after sleep.
