Deferred Feedback Sharply Dissociates Implicit and Explicit Category Learning

Deferred feedback sharply dissociates implicit and explicit category learning.

The controversy over multiple category-learning systems is reminiscent of the controversy over multiple memory systems. Researchers continue to seek paradigms to sharply dissociate explicit category-learning processes (featuring category rules that can be verbalized) from implicit category-learning processes (featuring learned stimulus-response associations that lie outside declarative cognitio...

Implicit and Explicit Category Learning 1 Running head: Evidence for Implicit and Explicit Category Learning Reevaluating Dissociations Between Implicit and Explicit Category Learning: An Event-Related fMRI Study

Development of implicit and explicit category learning.

We present two studies that examined developmental differences in the implicit and explicit acquisition of category knowledge. College-attending adults consistently outperformed school-age children on two separate information-integration paradigms due to children's more frequent use of an explicit rule-based strategy. Accuracy rates were also higher for adults on a unidimensional rule-based tas...

Implicit and explicit category learning by capuchin monkeys (Cebus apella).

Current theories of human categorization differentiate an explicit, rule-based system of category learning from an implicit system that slowly associates regions of perceptual space with response outputs. The researchers extended this theoretical differentiation to the category learning of New World primates. Four capuchins (Cebus apella) learned categories of circular sine-wave gratings that v...
