Title of Document: USING NEW MEASURES OF IMPLICIT L2 KNOWLEDGE TO STUDY THE INTERFACE OF EXPLICIT AND IMPLICIT KNOWLEDGE Yuichi Suzuki, Doctor of Philosophy, 2015 Directed By: Dr. Robert M. DeKeyser, Second Language Acquisition Second language acquisition (SLA) becomes extremely difficult for late second language (L2) learners, who are assumed to have passed the sensitive or critical period for...

The implicit-explicit distinction is applied to knowledge representations. Knowledge is taken to be an attitude towards a proposition which is true. The proposition itself predicates a property to some entity. A number of ways in which knowledge can be implicit or explicit emerge. If a higher aspect is known explicitly then each lower one must also be known explicitly. This partial hierarchy re...

Previous research shows that due to non-facilitative first language (L1) transfer, second (L2) speakers do not develop implicit knowledge of certain grammatical structures. Therefore, the present paper investigates whether L1-Sinhala–L2-English could acquire English object pronouns. To achieve this goal, compares data collected via an untimed grammaticality judgment task (untimed GJT) and oral ...

Introduction: The neural substrates of temporal processing are not still fully known. The majority of interval timing studies have dealt with this subject in the context of “Explicit timing” (computing the time intervals explicitly). The hypothesis “Implicit timing” (implicitly using temporal processing to improve function) has also proposed. This lesion study addressed explicit and implicit ti...

introduction: the aim of this study was to assess of both implicit and explicit motor sequence learning in children with attention deficit hyper activity disorder (adhd) and typical peers , by serial reaction time task. materials and methods: the sample size for each group was 12. the study sample was included 24 children with adhd, in explicit learning group and implicit learning group.  and 2...

We provide a Hilbert-Mumford Criterion for the action of a reductive group G on a Q-factorial algebraic variety X, partially proving a conjecture stated by A. BiaÃlynicki-Birula. The result allows to construct G-invariant open subsets of X admitting a good quotient by G from certain open subsets admitting a good quotient by a maximal torus T of G. As an application, we indicate an explicit meth...

Explicit knowledge is knowledge that the knower can make explicit by means of a verbal statement; implicit knowledge is knowledge that is not explicit. Chomskyan tacit knowledge of rules can be understood as requiring a particular structure in the content-involving explanations of transitions between internal representations. States of tacit knowledge are different from beliefs and states of ex...
