9780122374753: Implicit and Explicit Learning of Languages

Synopsis

The distinction between implicit and explicit learning is currently a major theme within cognitive psychology, particularly in relation to memory and learning. Learning can take place implicitly, with explicit problem-solving skills, or as a result of explicit instruction. Employing a cognitive approach to combine contributions from specialists in disciplines such as psychology, linguistics, neuroscience and computing, this book presents a general study of how learing takes place. In particular, it looks at how various processes affect and influence language acquisition.
