Product Review
"Underwood provides a useful review and current extension of the implicit memory and cognition literature."--Choice
"Thirteen eminent researchers present discussions of different aspects of implicit cognition, a developing area which includes the study of all behavior which is influenced by information not available to consciousness . . . . Each chapter serves as a review of a related set of findings and usefully lists large numbers of references . . . . In the words of Underwood, the chapters 'provide a detailed view of the variety of different approaches currently being used to tackle the problems of justifying the implicit-explicit distinction and in determining the extent of its usefulness.'"--Psychological Reports
Product Description
"Implicit cognition" refers to the learning, memory, and performance processes which take place without the subject's conscious awareness. A well known example is patients under anesthesia who show some retention of the surgeons' conversations though they cannot verbally recall it. Yet researchers disagree widely over the importance, and even the existence, of implicit cognition as an issue in human psychology. This book brings together several internationally known authors with conflicting views on the subject, providing a lively and informative overview of this fascinating area.
