In the case of a standard AGL implicit learning task, subjects are not told that the strings are based on a specific grammar.
32.
The modern AGL paradigm can be used to investigate explicit and implicit learning, although it is most often used to test implicit learning.
33.
In experiments on amnesiac patients, errorless implicit learning was more effective because it reduced the possibility of errors " sticking " in amnesiacs'memories.
34.
Evidence supports a clear distinction between implicit and explicit learning; for instance, research on amnesia often shows intact implicit learning but impaired explicit learning.
35.
The conclusions of most of these studies were congruent with Reber's hypothesis : the implicit learning process was done with no intentional learning strategies.
36.
Some psychologists argue that implicit learning is more stable than explicit learning because the unconscious mind developed earlier than the conscious mind on the evolutionary timeline.
37.
This was thought to increase the amount of implicit learning, as more complex rules are harder to perceive and participants were not attempting to find them.
38.
Since the advent of computers and artificial intelligence, computer programs have been adapted that attempt to simulate the implicit learning process observed in the AGL paradigm.
39.
Goal setting may have the drawback of inhibiting implicit learning : goal setting may encourage simple focus on an outcome without openness to exploration, understanding, or growth.
40.
The measurement must be conducted at the appropriate time otherwise what is assumed to be a measurement of implicit learning may actually be a measurement of explicit learning.
