This study examined the effect of the order of passing the training blocks on the success of training. We supposed that the pattern of learning, which was previously shown in the study of Brian J. Spiering for classification problems that require the inte- gration of information (pattern is that subjects, who began learning from complex examples are showing better results in the con- trol task) (Spiering, Ashby 2008) can be shown in the case of learning to solve the recoding tasks. For two groups, numbering 30 subjects each, the training tasks were presented in a different order: ascending order of complexity (first group), and descending order (second group). For presenting the task, we have developed a method and a computer program, in a way, that implies the possibility of transfering the experiment to the terms of another modality, to be later able to determine, whether the derived pat- terns are modal specific. The results demonstrated, that the order of passing the training stages influences the success in the control block only for the part of the subjects with low success.
