Book Description
The distinction between implicit and explicit learning is currently a major theme within cognitive psychology, particularly in relation to learning and memory. Reasoning that no single discipline is responsible for the learning process, the editor employs a cognitive approach to combine contributions from specialists in disciplines such as psychology, linguistics, neuroscience, and computing. The book presents a general study of how learning takes place and applies this knowledge. Learning can take place implicitly, with explicit problem-solving skills, or as a result of explicit instruction, specifically to how these various processes affect and influence language acquisition.
