ABSTRACT

The motivation behind this book was the need for synthesis in the domain of implicit processes. The main questions that sparked the development of this book are as follows: Is there one implicit process or processing principle, or are there many such principles and processes? Are implicit memory, implicit learning, implicit expertise, skill acquisition, and automatic detection simply different facets of one general principle or process, or are they distinct processes performing very different functions? This book has been designed to cast light on this issue.
