This study investigates which neural network architecture (feedforward vs. recurrent) best matches human behavior in artificial grammar learning. Human subjects and both feedforward and recurrent networks were tested on four grammars of varying complexity. Results show that both architectures can learn the grammars, but recurrent networks perform closer to human behavior, particularly with simpler, more explicit grammars, suggesting recurrent networks better model explicit learning while feedforward networks may capture implicit learning dynamics.
