.... there is an unconscious mind that is just the same as the more familiar conscious one, only minus consciousness (see also Searle, 1992) In particular, it has been assumed that participants in implicit learning experiments are capable of acquiring abstract, rule like knowledge implicitly (e.g. Reber Lewis, 1977). Thus, according to the theory, the cognitive system and its shadow operate in parallel and have basically the same properties: both involve the acquisition and the processing of abstract, symbolic knowledge, albeit only the conscious system produces output available to consciousness. Over the ....

....described here is merely one that assumes that there is a general purpose module for implicit learning, that is, a wholly independent and encapsulated learning subsystem characterized essentially by the fact that whatever it learns is not available to consciousness. Writings by Reber (e.g. Reber Lewis, 1977; see also Reber, 1989) by Lewicki and his collaborators (e.g. Lewicki, Czyzewska and Hoffman, 1987) or by Curran and Keele (1993) contain clear characterizations of implicit learning as involving such a separable learning system. For instance, Reber (1990) states that Specifically, implicit ....
