The role of implicit learning in skill acquisition and the distinction between implicit and explicit learning have been widely recognized in recent years (see, e.g., Reber 1989, Stanley et al 1989, Willingham et al 1989, Anderson 1993), Although implicit learning has been actively investigated, the complex and multifaceted interaction between the implicit and the explicit and the importance of ...

The present study examined the impact of engaging frontal-mediated working memory processes on implicit and explicit category learning. Two stimulus dimensions were relevant to categorization, but in some conditions, a third, irrelevant dimension was also presented. Results indicated that in both implicit and explicit conditions, the inclusion of the irrelevant dimension impaired performance by...

Discourse markers improve both the quality and comprehension of a written text. This study aimed at investigating the effect of explicit and implicit instruction of formal meta-discourse markers on writ- ing skills. The quantitative data were collected from 90 upper-intermediate students at Shiraz Univer- sity Language Center. Two experimental groups went through an instruction, while the contr...

Introduction Implicit learning is an incidental, inductive learning process that occurs without the use of explicit strategies. To date, few studies have investigated implicit learning subsequent to stroke, and almost all have used visuomotor tasks (e. The present study used a Serial Search Task developed by Goschke and colleagues (2001) to examine implicit and explicit learning of an auditory ...

Recent years have seen a proliferation of adult phonological-learning studies (“artificial-language” experiments) employing a wide array of experimental tasks, instructions, and materials (reviewed in Moreton & Pater 2012a,b), in the hope of gaining experimental access to the inductive processes underlying firstor secondlanguage acquisition. But there has been little investigation into what is ...

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...

An explicit method is described for reconstruction of the complex refractive index by the method of contrast transfer function

In most algorithms involving elliptic and hyperelliptic curves, the costliest part consists in computing multiples of ideal classes. This paper investigates how to compute faster doubling over fields of characteristic two. We derive explicit doubling formulae making strong use of the defining equation of the curve. We analyze how many field operations are needed depending on the curve making cl...
