Submission + - Strongest evidence yet of two distinct human cognitive systems (sciencedaily.com)
Maria_Celeste writes: New research appears to demonstrate that humans use two distinguishable systems to categorize the objects in their world. They've termed these systems explicit and implicit. Lead author J. David Smith, Ph.D. (University of Buffalo) explains the difference this way in Science Daily. When you select a cereal named 'Chocoholic' from the store shelf, consider why you are doing so. Is it a deliberate, explicit choice, or is it possibly an implicit-procedural chocolate reaction, one triggered by processes, memories and so on, of which you are generally unaware? The paper appears in the the journal Psychological Science.
