Ontogeny of implicit and explicit learning

Psychology of human learning distinguishes implicit learning, resulting in unconscious knowledge, and explicit learning, a more effortful form of learning leading to conscious knowledge. Our research assesses whether these two routes to learning also exist in apes and monkeys, and how and when they appear during childhood. This internship will involve developing touchscreen-based experiments to probe implicit and explicit learning without relying on verbal responses and data collection in children.
