Seminar on Implicit Learning: History and an Overview of the Presentations in 2018
The Implicit Learning Seminar is an annual scientific event that brings together researchers of unconscious cognition from different countries. Axel Cleeremans, Zoltan Dienes, Elisabeth Norman, and other well-known figures in the field of implicit learning regularly participate in the seminar. Its informal atmosphere, narrow topic range and small number of participants are ideal for discussing issues that go beyond what is usually presented in scientific articles. Special attention is paid to the results of “failed” experiments, in addition to discussions of theoretical frameworks, methodological issues, and empirical studies. The article describes the seven-year history of the seminar and gives a brief overview of the topics discussed in the May 2018 event which was held in Cluj-Napoca, Romania.
