The Routledge handbook of philosophy of implicit cognition / edited by J. Robert Thompson.

"Research and experiments in neuroscience and psychology reveal on an almost daily basis how much we know about the workings of the human brain. A great deal of this research is based upon observable or behavioural information. Yet a significant part of the human mind can also be regarded as working implicitly and effectively 'behind the scenes'. Explanations of how learning and memory occur, understanding language acquisition and a range of ethical issues such as bias depend to a significant degree on implicit mental states. The Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Implicit Cognition is an outstanding guide and reference source to this important topic. Comprising over thirty chapters by an international team of contributors, the Handbook is divided into eight clear parts: Defining Features? Identifying implicitness among cognate notions The Nature and Limits of Implicit Processing Ways of Perceiving, Knowing, Believing Language Agency and Control Social Cognition Memory Learning and Reasoning. The Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Implicit Cognition will be of great interest to students and researchers in philosophy of psychology, moral psychology and philosophy of mind as well as related disciplines such as psychology and cognitive science"-- Provided by publisher.
