Contrary to standard cognitive theories of unconscious implicit learning, a mentalistic theory (Dulany, 1997) holds the following: Implicit learning establishes associative-activational links between conscious sub-propositional representations (evocative mental episodes), for example, those linking aspects of a letter string with its grammatical classification. With this specificity, transfer s...

The subjective experiences of recollection and familiarity have featured prominently in the search for neurocognitive mechanisms of memory. However, these two explicit expressions of memory, which involve conscious awareness of memory retrieval, are distinct from an entire category of implicit expressions of memory that do not entail such awareness. This review summarizes recent evidence showin...

Implicit attitudes are automatically activated evaluative impulses that are difficult to control and potentially outside conscious awareness. The association of implicit attitudes toward psychiatric medication with treatment adherence and insight was investigated in 85 persons with schizophrenia, schizoaffective, or affective disorders using the Brief Implicit Association Test. Explicit attitud...

A key element of the distinction between explicit and implicit cognitive functioning is the presence or absence of conscious awareness. In this review, we consider the proposal that neuropsychological disorders can best be considered in terms of a decoupling between preserved implicit or unconscious processing and impaired explicit or conscious processing. Evidence for dissociations between imp...

This paper motivates and defines a notion of explicit selfawareness, one that implies human-like scope of the selfmodel, and an explicit internal representation susceptible to general inference methods and permitting overt communication about the self. The features proposed for knowledge representation and reasoning supporting explicit selfawareness include natural language-like expressiveness,...

Robots are continuously being deployed in ever challenging domains with tasks of increasing complexity. With these mounting challenges, robots will need to gain a better understanding of their environment and the status of surrounding dynamic obstacles. Human situational awareness may provide robots with this greater understanding. Presently, no straightforward approach is known for achieving h...

Situation Awareness involves the comprehension of the state of a collection of objects in an evolving environment. This not only includes an understanding of the objects’ characteristics but also an awareness of the significant relations that hold among the objects at any point in time. Systems for establishing situation awareness require a knowledge representation for these objects and relatio...
